Selenium WebDriver with Java

Module 1: Java Fundamentals for Test Automation

• Java setup: JDK, IntelliJ IDE, and Maven project structure
• OOP concepts: classes, objects, inheritance, interfaces
• Collections: List, Map, Set for test data management
• Exception handling and Java 8 lambda expressions
• Build tools: Maven lifecycle and dependency management
• IDE productivity: shortcuts and debugging in IntelliJ

Module 2: Selenium WebDriver Core

• Selenium architecture and WebDriver protocol
• ChromeDriver, FirefoxDriver, EdgeDriver with WebDriverManager
• Browser navigation: get, navigate, back, forward, refresh
• Implicit, explicit, and Fluent waits explained
• WebDriver timeout strategies and best practices
• Headless browser testing configuration

Module 3: Web Element Location

• Locators: ID, name, className, XPath, CSS selector
• Advanced XPath: axes, functions, dynamic expressions
• CSS selectors: attribute, pseudo-class, combinators
• WebElement actions: click, sendKeys, clear, getText
• Select class for dropdowns; file uploads
• Actions class: hover, drag-drop, right-click

Module 4: Advanced WebDriver

• Alerts, confirm dialogs, and prompts handling
• Multiple windows and tabs management
• Frames and iframes: switching and interacting
• JavascriptExecutor: scrolling and attribute manipulation
• Screenshots and page source capture
• StaleElementReferenceException strategies

Module 5: TestNG Framework

• Annotations: @Test, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod, @BeforeClass
• Assertions: assertEquals, assertTrue, assertFalse
• Groups, priorities, test dependencies
• @DataProvider for data-driven testing
• Parallel execution via TestNG XML
• Extent Reports and Allure integration

Module 6: Page Object Model

• POM design pattern: locators vs logic separation
• PageFactory: @FindBy annotations and initElements
• BaseTest class: WebDriver lifecycle management
• Fluent interface and component objects
• Best practices for large POM frameworks
• Refactoring tests to use POM

Module 7: Maven, CI/CD & Reporting

• Maven Surefire Plugin for test execution
• TestNG XML suite orchestration
• Jenkins integration and GitHub Actions workflow
• Extent Reports: rich HTML reports
• Allure Reports: visual reporting with screenshots
• Test result publishing in CI dashboards

Module 8: Framework Design & Interview Prep

• Hybrid framework: data-driven + keyword-driven
• Configuration management with properties files
• Log4j logging in Selenium frameworks
• Cross-browser testing strategy
• Cucumber with Selenium overview
• Top Selenium Java interview questions and answers
