🔍 Locator Strategy Tester

Result appears here…

WebElement el = driver.findElement(By.id("sel-input"));
System.out.println(el.getAttribute("value"));
// select dropdown
new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("sel-select"))).selectByVisibleText("Automation");

⏱ Explicit Wait Demo

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("delayed")));

🛤 XPath Quick Reference

💡 Always prefer relative XPath — it's shorter and more resilient to DOM changes.

// Absolute (avoid)
/html/body/div[1]/input

// Relative (preferred)
//input[@id='username']
//button[text()='Login']
//div[@class='card' and @data-id='5']
//table/tr[2]/td[3]
