Software Testing Day 29-2

To create invisible web elements

 To encapsulate styles and scripts within a component

To improve browser performance

 To prevent browser pop-ups

 By using driver.findElement() directly on the shadow element

 By using getShadowRoot() or JavascriptExecutor

By waiting for the shadow DOM to load

By using the driver.switchTo().frame() method

getElement()

getShadowRoot()

findElement()

executeScript()

It allows Selenium to manage browser sessions

 It lets you execute JavaScript within the browser's context

It handles synchronization issues in Selenium tests

 It enhances the performance of Selenium tests

It opens a new browser window

 It scrolls the page by 150 pixels vertically

 It scrolls the page by 150 pixels horizontally

 It clicks an element on the page

It clicks the first element on the page

It clicks the specified element passed as an argument to the script

 It simulates a keyboard event on the element

It submits a form containing the element

executeScript()

executeAsyncScript()

runAsyncScript()

waitForAsyncScript()

Shadow DOM elements cannot be located using standard locators

Shadow DOM elements are too slow to interact with

Shadow DOM elements are only available in specific browsers

Shadow DOM is deprecated and no longer supported

It returns a list of shadow DOM elements

It allows you to access the root of a shadow DOM to interact with elements inside it

It replaces traditional locators

It only works with HTML5 elements

Use hardcoded Shadow DOM locators for efficiency

Avoid interacting with Shadow DOM elements unless necessary

Use dynamic locators and the getShadowRoot() method in Selenium 4

Use XPath exclusively for Shadow DOM elements
