Here are some Challenges faced during Selenium Test Automation:

Dealing with pop-up windows

No event trigger from value changes

Timeout resulting from synchronization problems

Testing Flash apps

Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer

Protected Mode


Dealing with pop-up windows

• Selenium can sometimes fail to record common popups in web apps.

• The efficient interface brings with it the following commands: void dismiss(), void accept (), getText(), void sendKeys(String stringToSend).

No event trigger from value changes

• Because Selenium does not initiate events with a change in values, one must do it oneself using fireEvent: selenium.FireEvent(cmbCategory, “onchange”);

Timeout resulting from synchronization problems

• One should ideally use selenium.IsElementPresent(locator) to verify that the object is in a loop with Thread.Sleep

Testing Flash apps

• The application source code must be compiled with the swc files generated by Flex Monkium.

• Then the app and the Selenium IDE are connected, and the tests can be recorded with IDE

Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer

• Browser zoom level should be set to 100% by default for the IE browser to overcome this error.

Protected Mode

• The same valueerror occurs when trying to run Selenium WebDriver on a fresh Windows machine. This issue can be fixed by using capabilities as below when launching IE
