Hello Everyone! Welcome back to another Fresh article of MODTECHSTUFF where you Learn Automation testing.
In this article, we will talk about Selenium 4 Latest Features and Updates.
In test automation, the utilization of WebDriver API isn't simply kept to be a piece of Selenium; it is expended in different other robotization apparatuses too. For Example, the Appium apparatus, utilized for Mobile testing use Web Driver API. Additionally, it is utilized in iOS drivers moreover. One of the most critical changes is that Selenium 4 is WebDriver API normalization according to the W3C principles. Viably, presently, WebDriver API will be good with actualizing over various stages. Be that as it may, with inner design related changes in APIs, automation contents created utilizing Selenium 2 and 3 won't be affected.
New Locators
One of the difficult errands recorded as a hard copy test automation script is the recognizable proof of a component on the site page. For this, Selenium as of now gives numerous express locators like name, id, XPath, and so forth. Selenium 4 is accompanying one all the more new locators, i.e., Relative Locator. It gives an approach to find a component by its position concerning different components as follows:
above: To find a web component showing up over the predetermined component
below: To find a web component showing up underneath the predetermined component
toLeftOf: To find a web component appearing to one side of the predefined component
toRightOf: To find a web component appearing to one side of the predetermined component
near: To find web components seeming to approach the predetermined component. Here close to implies the limit of 50 pixels from the particular components.
DevTool Chromium
Selenium 4 additionally offers one of the significant highlights of uncovering dev instruments APIs from chromium inferred drivers. Chrome dev instruments are a lot of web designer apparatuses that are incorporated legitimately with Google Chrome. These apparatuses help alter pages on the fly, for investigating troubleshooting. Chrome Dev Tools are bolstered out-of-confine Selenium 4. As found in the screen capture of library org.openqa.selenium.dev devices underneath, following bundles, will accessible in Selenium content.
Improved Performance
As found in bundles gave by the development tools, one of the incredible bundles accessible is Network. It gives class techniques which offer the accompanying capacities:
Catching solicitations
Copying Network Conditions by changing ConntectionType
Empowering system following
Additionally, execution bundle classes give the arrangement to investigate runtime execution by giving techniques for gathering and revealing length measurements.
Backing for the Chromium-based Edge program: Since adaptation v4.0.0.0-alpha-2, selenium web driver underpins the Chromium-based Edge program, i.e., mechanization content can run on Chromium-based Edge program too.
Full page screen capture in Firefox: Since rendition v4.0.0.0-alpha-2, the expansion of full-page screen capture support for the Firefox program occurred. [Prajakta: Though this one can see it in the changelog, I was unable to locate any nitty-gritty data on this. A large portion of the data I looked on is about Ashot utility, however not identified with the Selenium4 feature.]
Component level screen captures: v4.0.0.0-alpha-1 gave one of the fundamental highlights of component level screen captures, i.e., Element screenshotting is currently conceivable with Selenium 4. Here, I was unable to discover more data or test. Identified a few examples utilizing get screen captures() technique which is now accessible in Selenium 3
Selenium Grid Update
Current Selenium Grid 2 has been grown long back, i.e., in 2011. In this way, Selenium 4 is accompanying a new design with Selenium Grid rendition 4.It vows to be Modern, Scalable, Observable
We should see quickly what Selenium Grid is. Selenium Grid comprises of 2 parts:
Node: It is where test content execution happens
Hub: This is the server machine controlling different machines in the system. Selenium Grid allows the execution of experiments to a particular hub, and it has just a single center.
Prior configuration and installment used to be trying because of the different issue which used to happen during establishment or setup, likewise interfacing the center with the hub machine. However, presently, with Selenium Grid form 4, Selenium lattice arrangement has become bothered free as on the beginning of Selenium Grid, it works as the two modes, i.e., Node and Hub.
New Grid form additionally permits equal experiment execution on numerous programs, frameworks just as working frameworks absent a lot of problems.
As Selenium 4 framework vows to be current, it offers help to cutting edge instruments valuable in the DevOps procedure like Docker, Kubernetes, and so on.
The new Selenium 4 Grid server additionally allows the client to yield signs in a solitary line group in JSON. More pleasant Grid UI: Selenium Grid 4.0 adaptation lattice UI is improved to be easier to use.
How to get Selenium 4?
To try out this new version, We should follow the below steps need to try out this new version :
Download Selenium 4.0.0-alpha-3. jar from https://selenium.dev/downloads/ [Note, that SeleniumHQ.org page is currently updated find with improved UI if entered seleniumhq.org, it gets redirected to https://selenium.dev/]
You can try this in the existing selenium project. Just be replacing Selenium 3.0 jar path by this 4.0 jar path.
Once, the project gets refreshes, it’s time to start the latest Selenium WebDriver API
Wrap-Up
An ever-increasing number of individuals are buying on the web, and everybody is requiring quality, security, and solace. To make your web-based business application serious, you should give the best consideration to these focuses, and be certain that you convey a reliable, excellent open door for your clients. From little things like burden times to enlisting or make a record before making a buy, everything about decides your future achievement. Try not to disregard QA and testing, a definitive thing that drives achievement in the digital age is the clients' recognition.
This article discussed some of the upcoming features in Selenium 4: Selenium IDE, Selenium WebDriver, and Selenium Grid, please let us know your feedback and also share your experiences and for any query send me a message here. I will ready to help(In FREE).
