Selenium WebDriver in C#: Quick Guide
The main method of using Selenium in C# is through Selenium WebDriver for automation testing. Below are the basic steps for using Selenium WebDriver.
Firstly, create a new C# project in Visual Studio.
2. Install the C# bindings for Selenium WebDriver using NuGet package manager. You can search for Selenium.WebDriver on the nuget.org website to install it.
3. Create a new C# class file and import the necessary namespaces in the file.
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
Create a WebDriver instance in the class, specifying the browser driver (such as Chrome, Firefox, etc.):
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
5. Open a web page using a WebDriver instance:
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.example.com");
6. Utilize a WebDriver instance to locate elements on the page and perform actions like clicking and entering text.
IWebElement element = driver.FindElement(By.Id("elementId"));
element.Click();
element.SendKeys("example text");
7、After finishing the testing, close the WebDriver instance.
driver.Quit();
By following the above steps, you can use Selenium WebDriver for automated testing in C# to manipulate and validate page elements.
