Learn how to execute cross-browser tests using Selenium WebDriver.

Mastering Selenium

Selenium WebDriver is a powerful web framework that allows us to execute cross-browser tests. By learning this tool, we can create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, all while scaling and distributing scripts across many different environments.
 
This is a recipe module, which means we can directly go to the part that interests us. For example, if we’re testing multiple select lists and don’t know how to do it, we can look it up in the module roadmap and proceed with that lesson.
 
With over 170 recipes for web application testing, we’ll have the opportunity to learn and practice both beginning and advanced techniques with Selenium WebDriver. By the time we complete this module, we’ll have a great new skill, and save tons of time when it comes to automating real user interactions in Firefox, Safari, Edge, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and more.

We can perform complex user interactions, such as grouping a series of keyboard and mouse operations, and send it to the browser with Selenium by using the “Actions” (`.action()` function). The general syntax of using `action()` is given below:
