[@grishmasheladiya7019]

Very well explained! Thank you so much for explaining in brief. It helps me a lot. You are an amazing tutor.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Grishma, I am glad to read your comments. Thank you so much.

[@darshanbhatt6556]

Hello Mukesh Sir. Are there any kind of notes provided by you. You are teaching very excellently and i am able to understand your concepts thoroughly.

[@AshuTest21]

Hi @Mukesh, instead of finding the elements in the HTML code, can we check and copy the available locators directly from selectors Hub extension directly??

[@Mukeshotwani]

You need to learn also how to write and modify too. In interviews u cant tell that u dont know how to write xpath and css. Some companies where security is more, they wont allow extensions.

Hello Mukesh can you please make a video on how to perform parallel testing in testNG with a live example?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Sure Jaspreet, I will do that soon.

[@muralidharch433]

Hi Mukesh.👋 I have read some where., compared to xpath css is some what fast while identifying Elements. Please let us know. Thanks. Muralidhar 😊👍

[@Mukeshotwani]

Xpath provide more methods for finding elements so in terms of preference I will go with Xpath. XPath and CSS has hardly mili seconds of difference in performance

[@atulthorat5670]

hi Mukesh, Thanks for the video, i have one question that: What difference does it make to find all the elements from DOM with certain tag? Whether the image is overlapping other images OR not ? Thanks again for the video.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Atul, there can be many use cases like while finding broken links, working with calendars, webtables etc. Here are few examples which I have covered in my blog learn-automation.com/find-broken-links-using-selenium/ learn-automation.com/handle-calender-in-selenium-webdriver/

Thanks Buddy :)

[@Imran-M-]

Hi Mukesh, could you please clarify this doubt - @12:38 variable "pass" is an object of By class and we know By is an abstract class, but in Java we cannot create object of an abstract class....then howz it possible, what is the funda here??

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Imran, Yes but we are not creating object, we are calling method which return By class reference. You can not call below By a=new By(); But you can use like below By a=By.id("") or WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver()- Here WebDriver is Interface.

[@Imran-M-]

@@Mukeshotwani hmm, got it...Thanks man!

[@MrKadeer]

[@LightAtEndOfTheTunnel]

why indirect locator/customized locators are slow, what is logical reason behind it?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Implementation Complexity Custom XPath Expressions Lack of Browser Optimization

[@sfdc_qa]

@Mukesh Ji, What should I do if a selector is showing 1of1 in the browser but while using in Selenium script it says unable to locate the element even though I used wait()? please help I am automating a salesforce application and it has dynamic ids.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Nikhil, when script is failing then try same locators on opened windows (opened by Selenium), second thing do not take id directly, try using contains method of xpath or CSS, third thing if element is matching while locating but if it is failing in application then check frames as well.

[@sfdc_qa]

@@Mukeshotwani Thanks Mukesh, Yes it was a frame there, so I get into that frame first then search the element and it was there.. Thanks a lot.. Please make a video on this concept as well because I am 100% sure our friends get the same issue. Thanks again!
