Selenium WebDriver is a powerful web framework that allows you to execute cross-browser tests. By learning this tool, you can create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, all while scaling and distributing scripts across many different environments.

This is a recipe course, meaning you can directly go to the part that interests you. For example, if you are testing a multiple select list and don’t know how, you can look it up in the course roadmap and proceed with that lesson.

With over 170 recipes for web application testing, you’ll have the opportunity to learn and practice both beginning and advanced techniques with Selenium WebDriver. By the time you complete this course, you will have a great new skill, and you’ll save tons of time when it comes to automating real user interactions in Firefox, Safari, Edge, Chrome, Internet Explorer and more!

Selenium WebDriver Recipes in Node.js

# Open browser in certain size

Many modern websites use the responsive web design, meaning the page content layout changes according to the browser window size. This increases the testing effort of testers who now have to test websites in different browser window sizes. Fortunately, Selenium has
a convenient way of resizing the browser windows as:

~~~
driver.manage().window().setSize(1024, 768);
~~~

# Maximize browser window

We can maximize the browser windows as:

~~~
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.sleep(300);  // add delay to see the effect
driver.manage().window().setSize(1024, 768);
~~~

# Move browser window

We can move the browser window (started by the test script) to a certain position on screen; (0, 0) is the top left of the screen. The position of the browser's window won't affect the test results. This might be useful for utility applications. For example, a background video program can capture a certain area on the screen.

~~~
driver.manage().window().setPosition(100, 200);
driver.sleep(300);
driver.manage().window().setPosition(0, 0);
~~~



# Minimize browser window

Surprisingly, there isn't a minimize window function in Selenium, and the workaround 
is as follows:

~~~x
driver.manage().window().setPosition(-2000, 0);  // hide
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Hyperlink")).click(); // still can use
driver.sleep(300);
driver.manage().window().setPosition(0, 0);
~~~
