Java Selenium Interview Questions and Answers

**Basic Selenium Questions**

1. **What is Selenium? What are its components?**

Selenium is an open-source automation testing tool used to automate web applications. Its main

components are:

- Selenium IDE: A record-and-playback tool.

- Selenium WebDriver: A tool for writing browser-based automation scripts.

- Selenium Grid: Allows parallel execution of tests across different browsers and systems.

2. **What are the advantages and limitations of Selenium?**

- **Advantages:** Open-source, supports multiple programming languages, works across browsers,

and supports parallel testing.

- **Limitations:** Cannot test desktop or mobile apps directly, limited support for handling captchas

and dynamic elements.

3. **What is the difference between Selenium WebDriver and Selenium RC?**

- WebDriver interacts directly with the browser, while Selenium RC requires a server.

- WebDriver supports modern browsers and APIs, while RC is deprecated.

4. **Can Selenium handle dynamic elements? How?**

Yes, by using dynamic locators like XPath or CSS Selectors and applying waits (e.g., explicit or

fluent wait).

5. **What is the difference between `findElement()` and `findElements()`?**


- `findElement()`: Returns the first matching web element or throws an exception if none are found.

- `findElements()`: Returns a list of all matching elements or an empty list if none are found.

6. **What are locators in Selenium? Name a few types.**

Locators are used to identify web elements. Types include:

- ID

- Name

- Class Name

- Tag Name

- XPath

- CSS Selector

- Link Text

- Partial Link Text

7. **How would you handle a drop-down in Selenium?**

Using the `Select` class, which provides methods like `selectByValue()`, `selectByVisibleText()`, and

`selectByIndex()`.

8. **How do you handle alerts in Selenium?**

Use the `Alert` interface:

- `driver.switchTo().alert().accept()` for OK.

- `driver.switchTo().alert().dismiss()` for Cancel.

- `driver.switchTo().alert().getText()` to get alert text.

9. **What is an implicit wait in Selenium, and how is it different from an explicit wait?**

- **Implicit Wait:** Sets a global wait time for all elements. Example:

`driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)`.
- **Explicit Wait:** Waits for specific conditions. Example: `WebDriverWait` with conditions like

`elementToBeClickable()`.

10. **How can you take a screenshot in Selenium WebDriver?**

```java

File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot, new File("path/to/save/image.png"));

```
