Selenium WebDriver – Web Element Controls

Selenium WebDriver – Web Element Controls

A web element is an interface that is implemented by a remote web element class.

• The Web element control can be used to perform the data capture, verification, and operational control commandsin the web driver.
• Web element control cannot be used without findElement(), because every element should be identified in the HTML document before operating the web element.
• The Html source code consists of a start tag, end tag, and the content… in between.
• An Html source code is written as: content

We have several web elements commands and actions in WebDriver. The  following commands are shown in the below screenshot:

Web elements command can be divided into three different methods which are as following:

• Operational Controls Methods
• Data-capture Control Methods
• Verification Control Method

Let see some of the web element and their web element controls which is as shown below:
