Selenium WebDriver Recipes in C#
Selenium WebDriver Recipes in C#
The problem solving guide to Selenium WebDriver in C#
About the Book
Selenium WebDriver is a popular browser automation framework. Testers or developers with Selenium skills are in high demand. It is easy to get started with Selenium, but do you use effectively for testing real-world test scenarios? Such as data driving test from an Excel spreadsheet and handling pop up dialogs.
Selenium WebDriver Recipes will show you solutions to your problems from the experts who have already solved them. All recipe tests (150+ in a C# Visual Studio Solution) are ready-to-run. I created the target web site and offline web pages, so that you can simply find the recipes and run, in a matter of seconds. Owning this book is like having a test automation coach sitting next to you.
