In Selenium, <\/strong>all those\u00a0 commands in which we perform certain operations like open a window, or we get a URL or we clear some text from the view are controlled by some commands these commands are called as selenium commands<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three types of commands like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actions<\/strong>– These commands directly interacts with the page elements like click, type etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessors<\/strong>– Allows to store the values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assertions- <\/strong>It asserts (when this commands fails, test stopped), verifies (when this fails, result logs the failure and continues with execution Wait For (waiting period).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selenium webdriver has a huge list of commands which are used for test automation which is performed by different operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.Browser commands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.Navigation commands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Webelements commands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. BROWSER Commands:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) Get<\/strong> command<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This method opens a new webpage in existing browser. It accepts the parameter as string and returns void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

get(String arg0) : <\/strong>void<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example the command to load a website will be written as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driver.get(\u201cwww.google.com\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a class browserFunctions in java and package and write the code to open the google webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b) GetPageSource<\/strong> command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here the method returns the source code of present webpage loaded on the current browser this accepts no parameter and returns string value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

getPageSource(): String  <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
driver.getPageSource();  <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
       <\/strong>    or<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
String PageSource = driver.getPageSource();  <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
c) GetCurrentURL <\/strong>command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The job of this command is to fetch the string which represents the current URL of the current webpage. This command returns a string value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
getCurrentUrl(): String  <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
F<\/strong>or example, this command can be written  as<\/p>\n\n\n\n
driver.getCurrentUrl();<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Or<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
String CurrentUrl = driver.getCurrentUrl<\/strong>();<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
d) Get title <\/strong>command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This command fetches the title of the current webpage. This command accepts no parameter and returns a string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
getTitle(): String<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
For example this command can be written as<\/p>\n\n\n\n
driver.getTitle();    <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    OR<\/strong>     <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
String Title = driver.getTitle(); <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
e) Close<\/strong> command<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The command is used to terminate the current browser window by operating by the webdriver at the current time. This method returns void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
close(): <\/strong>void<\/strong> <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
f) Quit<\/strong> command<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This method terminates all the windows operating by the web driver. It closes the browser itself. This returns void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
quit(): <\/strong>void<\/strong> <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
F<\/strong>or example this can be written as<\/p>\n\n\n\n
driver.quit(); <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
2. NAVIGATION commands:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
  1. Navigate To<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    This method loads the new page in the current browser window. It returns nothing and accepts a string parameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    to(String arg0) : <\/strong>void<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    for example it can be written as<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    driver.navigate().to<\/strong>(\u201cWWW.H2KINFOSYS.COM\u201d)<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    b) <\/strong>Navigate Forward<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This method does the operation of clicking the forward button of any browser.It will not accept any parameter and not returns any value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    forward() : <\/strong>void<\/strong> <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    for example it is written as<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    driver.navigate().forward();  <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    c) Navigate Back command<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
       In this web driver this method simulates the browser\u2019s back button action. It will not allow any parameter and it returns void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Driver. Navigate ().back ();<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For example    driver.navigate ().back();<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    d) Refresh command<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This method works as to refresh the browser. It does not take any parameter and returns void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    WebElement user = driver.findElement(By.id(“User”));<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    user.clear();<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    b) Sendkeys command<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This method prints the characters or values passed in the argument into the associated web element object.it will accept a char sequence as a parameter and its return type is void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    element.sendKeys(\u201center text\u201d);<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    WebElement user = driver.findElement(By.id(\"User\"));<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    user.sendKeys(\u201cTechBeamers\");<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    c) Click command<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The method does the click action at the web element; it will not accept any parameter and its return type is void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
     <\/strong>element.click();<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

    WebElement user = driver.findElement(By.id(\u201cUser\"));<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    booleanis displayed = user.isDisplayed<\/strong>();<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    d) GetText command<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
