Recovery scenarios depends upon the programming language you use.  If you are using Java then you can use exception handling to overcome same.  By using “Try Catch Block” within your Selenium WebDriver Java tests

50) Explain how to iterate through options in test script?

To iterate through options in test script you can loop features of the programming language, for example to type different test data in a text box you can use “for” loop in Java

// test data collection in an array

String[ ] testData = { “test1” , “test2” , “test3” } ;

// iterate through each test data

For  (string s: test data) { selenium.type ( “elementLocator”, testData) ; }

51) How can you prepare customized html report using TestNG in hybrid framework ?

There are three ways

·         Junit: With the help of ANT

·         TestNG: Using inbuilt default.html to get the HTML report. Also XST reports from ANT, Selenium, TestNG combinations

·         Using our own customized reports using XSL jar for converting XML content to HTML

·         Click on the “Run” button to continue executing all the commands at a time

55)  What is Selenese and what are the types of Selenese ?

Selenese is a selenium set of command which are used for running the test

There are three types of Selenese

·         Actions: It is used for performing the operations and interactions with the target elements

·         Assertions: It is used as a check points

·         Accessors: It is used for storing the values in a variable

56)  Explain what are the limitations of Selenium IDE?

The limitations of Selenium IDE

·         Exceptional handling is not present

·         Selenium IDE uses only HTML languages

·         External databases reading is not possible with IDE

·         Reading from the external files like .txt, .xls is not possible

·         Conditional or branching statements execution like if,else,  select statements is not possible
