Selenium WebDriver- Locating Strategies

Just like Selenium IDE, WebDriver uses the same set of locating strategies for specifying location of a particular web element.

Since, we are using WebDriver with java; each locating strategy has its own command in Java to locate the web elements.

Note: Locating web elements in Webdriver is performed with the help of findElement() and findElements() method.

A list of Locating Strategies used in WebDriver:

• Locating Strategies By ID
• Locating Strategies By Name
• Locating Strategies By Class Name
• Locating Strategies By Tag Name
• Locating Strategies By Link Text
• Locating Strategies By Partial Link Text
• Locating Strategies By CSS
• Locating Strategies By XPath
