Web UI Automation with Selenium — SDET / Automation Testing Roadmap
Automating real browser interactions the way a user would perform them
Steps in Web UI Automation with Selenium
- Selenium WebDriver Architecture — intermediate · How WebDriver actually communicates with a real browser under the hood
- Locators (ID, CSS, XPath) — intermediate · Finding the right element reliably, and why some locator strategies are more fragile than others
- WebDriver Commands & Browser Interactions — intermediate · Clicking, typing, navigating and reading text and attributes from elements
- Waits (Implicit, Explicit, Fluent) — intermediate · Synchronizing test execution with a page that hasn't finished loading yet
- Handling Dropdowns, Alerts & Frames — intermediate · Interacting with UI elements that need special handling beyond a simple click
- Handling Multiple Windows/Tabs — intermediate · Switching context correctly when an action opens a new browser window or tab
- Selenium Grid for Parallel Execution — advanced · Running tests across multiple browsers and machines simultaneously to save time
