Selenium Automation Utility Library in Java
This article presents a comprehensive Java Selenium utility library that encapsulates numerous reusable methods for browser automation, element interaction, screenshot handling, cookie management, JavaScript execution, scrolling, and navigation, providing a solid foundation for building robust automated test suites.
The author shares a personal Java Selenium library created for automated testing, noting that it will not be updated soon due to work commitments and that some JavaScript-related parts remain unfinished.
The library, named SelLibrary , extends a base SourceCode class and implements a singleton pattern to provide a single instance throughout the test suite. It includes static WebDriver initialization with Firefox profile preferences, methods for taking screenshots, clicking elements by various locators (id, name, text, xpath, class name, tag), clearing and sending keys, handling alerts, retrieving text and numeric values, scrolling, JavaScript interactions, and navigation controls such as back, forward, and refresh. Additional utilities cover right‑click actions, mouse hover, dropdown selection by index/value/text, and physical key events via Robot . The code also demonstrates cookie output and addition, as well as waiting mechanisms for element enablement.
Following the code, the article lists a curated selection of technical and non‑technical articles, providing links to resources on Java one‑line heart printing, Linux performance monitoring, test coverage with JaCoCo, performance testing frameworks, HTTP concepts, and more.
