10g. Advanced WebDriver – Saving screenshots to a word document
Hiya Champs! Hope you had a great time taking screenshots and saving them locally. Today, let us see how we can create a word document and insert all images captured as part of a test case into that. Having a separate document for each test case would not only help us keep our workspace organized but also searching for a particular screenshot becomes a piece of cake. And the best part is, we are going to write code so that all this stuff happens automatically without any manual intervention. Allow me to get straight to the point.

10f. Advanced WebDriver – Taking a Screenshot
Hiya Champs! Screenshot. another frequently heard term on the crowded streets of Software Testing. What good is a test if you cannot prove with a screenshot when a bug appears in your environment but not in development! So, it’s high time that we understand how to grab one using Selenium WebDriver. I know you have a few questions springing up to your mind. The most important one being, “If it was a manual test, then I could have just hit the ‘PrntScr’ button on my keyboard and have a beautiful screenshot to treasure. But when I automate, how do I achieve the same result?” And guess what, it is laughably simple! Just follow 3 steps, and you have a screenshot at your disposal. If you are like me, you are probably anxious to see how this works in code. I aim to please, so without further delay…

10e. Advanced WebDriver – Generating a PDF report
Hiya Champs! We have covered a lot of ground on reports so far, and you have reached the climax article. Generating an HTML report may not be that helpful if you want to attach it to an email and send it to your stakeholders. Because the ANT generated JUnit report has an index.html file which in turn embeds a few other HTML files such as overview-frame.html, all classes-frame.html, and overview-summary.html files. What do we do in this situation? How do we attach this to an email? Can we not get it as a single file instead of a set of HTML files? – A single answer to all these questions is, to generate a PDF file instead. Let us look at the procedure for generating a PDF report without disturbing the customizations we made thus far,

Prepare to be lit up!

10a. Advanced WebDriver - Using Apache ANT
Hiya folks! Do you have ANTs in your build? Just kidding! Actually, I am not. Agreed that it sounds weird, but don’t fear as I am here! (Now, that's what I call, rhyming.) Today, let us ponder about what exactly this Apache ANT is and why it takes its place as an important building block in the construction of a WebDriver framework. By the end of this post, you should be able to handle any ANT project in general.

9z. WebDriver – Window maximize
Hiya Champs! Things don’t always work the way we want them to and that’s where the challenges take their form. With Selenium Webdriver, our testing lives are made far easier than we would expect them to be. One such situation is maximizing the browser window. Screenshots are a life saver and in order to view all the web elements while grabbing one, it is important to maximize the browser window. Therefore, instead of scrolling down to a particular element, just maximize the window and complete the task at hand.
