The Selenium WebDriver Recipes book is a quick problem-solving guide to automated testing web applications with Selenium WebDriver. It contains hundreds of solutions to real-world problems, with clear explanations and ready-to-run test scripts you can use in your own projects.

Selenium WebDriver is a popular browser automation framework, testers or developers with Selenium skills are in high demand. It is easy to get started with Selenium, but do you use effectively for testing real-world test scenarios? Such as data driving test from an Excel spreadsheet and handling pop up dialogs.

Selenium WebDriver Recipes will show you solutions to your problems from the experts who have already solved them. All recipe tests (~200 in Java language) are ready-to-run. I created the target web site and offline web pages, so that you can simply find the recipes and run, in a matter of seconds. Owning this book is like having a test automation coach sitting next to you.

Selenium tests can be written in multiple programming languages such as Java, C#, jаvascript, Python and Ruby (the core ones). All examples in this book are written in Selenium with Java binding. As you will see the examples below, the use of Selenium in different bindings are very similar. Once you master one, you can apply it to others quite easily. Take a look at a simple Selenium test script in four different language bindings: Java, C#, jаvascript, Python and Ruby.

Most of Java programmers develop Java code in an IDE (integrated development environment), such as Eclipse, Intellij IDEA and NetBeans. I will use NetBeans as the Java IDE of choice for this book, as all IDE related functions mentioned in the book are very generic, readers can easily apply in their favourite IDEs. (the Intellij IDEA project is also included with the sample recipes).

Who should read this book:
This book is for testers or programmers who are writing (or want to learn) automated tests with Selenium WebDriver. In order to get the most of this book, basic (very basic) Java coding skills is required.

How to read this book:
Usually, a ‘recipe’ book is a reference book. Readers can go directly to the part that interests them. For example, if you are testing a multiple select list and don’t know how, you can look up in the Table of Contents, then go to the chapter. This book supports this style of reading. Since the recipes are arranged according to their levels of complexity, readers will also be able to work through the book from the front to back if they are looking to learn test automation with Selenium.
