- 6. Working with ChromeDriver Chrome Driver is maintained / supported by the Chromium project itself. WebDriver works with Chrome through the chromedriver binary (found on the chromium project’s download page). www.npntraining.com
- 9. Working with HTMLUnitDriver This is currently the fastest and most lightweight implementation of WebDriver. HtmlUnitDriver works behind the scenes. HtmlUnit is a java based implementation of a WebBrowser without a GUI. www.npntraining.com
- 10. Working with HTMLUnitDriver Contd… i. None of the popular browsers uses the JavaScript engine used by HtmlUnit (Rhino). If you test JavaScript using HtmlUnit the results may differ significantly from those browsers. ii. When we say “JavaScript” we actually mean “JavaScript and the DOM”. Although the DOM is defined by the W3C each browser has its own quirks and differences in their implementation of the DOM and in how JavaScript interacts with it. HtmlUnit has an impressively complete implementation of the DOM and has good support for using JavaScript, but it is no different from any other browser: it has its own quirks and differences from both the W3C standard and the DOM implementations of the major browsers, despite its ability to mimic other browsers. iii. With WebDriver, we had to make a choice; do we enable HtmlUnit’s JavaScript capabilities and run the risk of teams running into problems that only manifest themselves there, or do we leave JavaScript disabled, knowing that there are more and more sites that rely on JavaScript? We took the conservative approach, and by default have disabled support when we use HtmlUnit. With each release of both WebDriver and HtmlUnit, we reassess this decision: we hope to enable JavaScript by default on the HtmlUnit at some point. HtmlUnitDriver driver =new HtmlUnitDriver(true)

- 13. Exploring Firefox Profiles A profile in Firefox is a collection of bookmarks, browser settings, extensions, and history; in short all your personal settings which is stored in separate location. www.npntraining.com
- 15. Exploring Proxy class A proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource available from a different server and the proxy server evaluates the request as a way to simplify and control its complexity. www.npntraining.com
