Section 1: Foundational Exercises (Beginner Level)

1. Form Automation Mastery

Demo Site: DemoQA Automation Practice Form

Exercises:

1. Automate text field validations

2. Handle radio buttons and checkboxes

3. Implement date picker selection

4. Manage file uploads/downloads

5. 
   

Pro Tip: Use the Page Object Model pattern:

 java

public class PracticeFormPage {
    @FindBy(id = "firstName") WebElement firstName;
    // Other elements
    
    public void submitForm(TestUser user) {
        firstName.sendKeys(user.getFirstName());
        // Continue form filling
    }
}

2. Google Search Automation

Demo Site: Google.com

Challenge: Implement explicit waits for search results

Solution:

 python

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

search_box = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "q")
search_box.send_keys("Selenium WebDriver")
search_box.submit()

# Wait for results
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
    EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "h3"))

3. E-Commerce Website Testing

Demo Site: AutomationExercise

Comprehensive Project:

1. User registration workflow

2. Product search and filtering

3. Cart management system

4. Checkout process automation

Framework Enhancement:
Implement Data-Driven Testing using JSON:

 java

@DataProvider(name = "userData")
public Object[][] getUserData() throws IOException {
    return JsonToArrayConverter.readTestData("users.json");
}

4. Broken Link Detection

Demo Site: [Any live website]

Advanced Solution:

python

from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
from urllib.error import URLError, HTTPError

all_links = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "a")

for link in all_links:
    url = link.get_attribute("href")
    try:
        req = Request(url)
        response = urlopen(req)
    except (HTTPError, URLError) as e:
        print(f"Broken link: {url} | Status: {e.code}")

5. Multi-Tab Browser Automation

Demo Site: The Internet

Key Solution:

 java

 

String mainWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();

// Open new tab
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Click Here")).click();

// Switch to new tab
for (String handle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
    if (!handle.equals(mainWindow)) {
        driver.switchTo().window(handle);
        break;
    }
}

// Perform actions in new tab
Assert.assertEquals("New Window", driver.getTitle());

6. Dynamic Web Table Handling

Demo Site: DemoQA Web Tables

Innovative Approach:

 python

def get_table_data(driver):
    rows = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//div[@class='rt-tr-group']")
    data = []
    
    for row in rows:
        cells = row.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "rt-td")
        row_data = [cell.text for cell in cells if cell.text]
        if row_data:
            data.append(row_data)
    
    return pd.DataFrame(data, columns=["Name", "Age", "Email", "Salary", "Department"])

7. File Upload/Download with Robot Class

Demo Site: The Internet File Upload

Hybrid Solution:

 java

// Selenium + Robot Class integration
String filePath = "/path/to/testfile.txt";
driver.findElement(By.id("file-upload")).sendKeys(filePath);

// Robot class for OS-level confirmation
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

8. AJAX Form Handling

Demo Site: Selenium Easy AJAX Form

Best Practice:

 python 

# Custom wait condition for AJAX completion
def ajax_complete(driver):
    return driver.execute_script("return jQuery.active == 0")

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ajax_complete)
