Question

Demonstrate usage of Selenium through a test application.

Answer 1

You need the following prerequisites to run a demo Selenium test script:

Java SDK in your respective Operating System.

A Java-based IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ.

A Selenium WebDriver is to be added as a dependency to Java IDE.

package scalerAcademy;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

public class MyFirstTestClass {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

//It sets the system property to the given value.

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:\\Softwares\\geckodriver.exe”);        

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

         driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

         //Launch website in the browser 

         driver.manage().window().maximize();

 //The sleep pauses the execution of the thread for 5000 ms.

         Thread.sleep(5000);

         driver.quit();

 }

}

Once you run the above script in a Java IDE, you’ll get the following execution logs displayed in your IDE window.
