2. Selenium
 Selenium is an umbrella project encapsulating a variety
of tools and libraries enabling web browser automation
 WebDriver, Selenium IDE, Selenium Grid
 W3C WebDriver specification

3. Selenium
 Need allot of boilerplate for:
 Init browsers
 Wait for availability of any elements
 Screenshots
 Logs
 Upload and download files
 PageObject and PageFactory

4.  Wrapper around Selenium WebDriver not a framework
 Fluent API for simple using all features
 Supporting AJAX for stable tests, forgot: StaleElementExaptions
 Simple waiting for any conditions for each element
 Multifunctional Selectors
 Simple Configurations for project with tests

5. UI Tests: Selenide

6. Selenide.class
$(css), $(By by), $x(xpath), $(By, index)
$$(css), $$(By by), $$x(xpath)
open(…) //URL, Login, PF
selectRadio(By, withText)
switchTo()
page() //for PageFactory *initElements(.class)*

8. Selenide.class
 executeJavaScript()
 actions()
 Wait()
 clearAllCookies()
 clearLocalStorage()

12. Should’ы and Wait’ы
 should(Condition condition)
shouldHave()
shouldBe()
 shouldNot(Condition condition)
shouldNotHave()
shouldNotBe()
waitUntil(Condition, timeout, pooling)
waitWhile(Condition, timeout, pooling)
waitUntil(Condition, timeout)
waitWhile(Condition, timeout)

14. ElementCollection actions
shouldHaveSize(Condition)
get(index), first(), last()
filter(Condition), filterBy(Condition) -> collection
find(Condition), findBy(Condition) -> element
exclude(Condition), excludeBy(Condition)

16. Conditions
 visible, appear
 exist, present
 hidden, disappear
 attribute(), attribute(name, value)
 value(), name(), type(), id(),
cssClass()
 empty
 matchText(regex), text(),
exactText(), textCaseSensitive(),
exactTextCaseSensitive()
 focused, enabled, disabled,
 selected, checked, readOnly
 not(Condition), and(because,Condition),
or(because, Condition), be(), have()

18. CollectionConditions
 get()
 size(), sizeGreaterThan(),
sizeGreaterThanOrEqual()
 sizeLessThan(),
sizeLessThanOrEqaul(),
sizeNotEqual()
 texts(…), exactTexts(…)
 empty

20. WebDriverRunner
 isFirefox, isHtmlUnit, isChrome, isSafari,
isHeadless, isEdge…
 source()
 url(), currentFrameUrl()
 clearBrowserCache()
 supportsModalDialogs(),
supportsJavascript()
 Browser name constants(chrome,ff...)
 addListeners(WebDriverEventListener)
 setWebDriver(customDriver),
closeWebDriver()
 getWebDriver(),
getAndCheckWebDriver(),
 hasWebDriverStarted()
 setProxy()

21. Configuration
 clickViaJs, fastSetValue
 captureJsErrors
 screenshots, savePageSource,
reportFolder, reportsUrl
 dismissModalDialogs
 selectorMode [css, sizzle]
 assertionMode [soft, strict]
 fileDownload [httpget, proxy]
 baseUrl, browser
 timeout, collectionTimeout
 poolingInterval,
coollectionPoolingInterval
 holdBrowserOpen,
reopenBrowserOnFail,
closeBrowserMs
 remote
 browserSize, startMaximized

22. Extra selectors and parent
selectors
 withText(), byText()
 byAttribute(), by()
 byTitle(), byValue(), byId(), byName()
 byXpath()
 byLinkText(), byPartialLinkText()
 byCssSelector()
 byClassName
 $(“tr td.dig”).parent()
 $(“tr td.dig”).closest(“th”)

23. Bonus features #1
Configuration.fileDownload = PROXY;
File testFile = $(“#file”).download();
 Download files via proxy
Use when form have no href or other url
for start downloading file
Download file starts after click on the
form.
Will starts proxy server witch intercepts
downloading files

24. Bonus features #2
You can use:
LoginForm loginForm = new LoginForm();
loginForm.submit.click();
Instead of:
LoginForm loginForm = page(LoginForm.class);
loginForm.submit.click();
 Selenide PageFactory
You can use:
SelenideElement submit = $(“#submit”),
loginInput = $(“input.login”);
Instead of:
@FindBy(css=“#submit”)
SelenideElement submit;
@FindBy(css=“input.login”)
SelenideElement loginInput;

25. Bonus features #3
 Simple Logger
When you need logging all element
actions do not use log4j and others
Use:
@Rule || @Listener
public TextReport = new TextReport();
Or
new TextReport().onFailedTest(true)
.onSucceededTest(false)

28. Bonus features #4
 Screenshots
When you need screenshots on each
fail test or more
Use:
@Rule || @Listener
public ScreenShooter = ScreenShooter.failedTests();
Or: ScreenShooter.failedTests(). succeededTests();

30. How to start?
 Include dependencies: selenide & webdrivermanager
 Use static imports for Selenide’s methods
 Keep it simple stupid!

31. WebDriver Manager

32. Myths about Selenide
 Will be it enterprise? – No
 Selenide will do tests slower! – No
 Need to know Selenium at the first! – No
 Selenide it isn’t OOP framework! – No
 Does not have typed elements! – So what?
