Myself Mukesh Otwani working professional in a beautiful city Bangalore India. I completed my BE from RGPV university Bhopal MP. India.
Initially Started my career from one of finance company (because I did not get a job after my graduation) as a management trainee (MT) in Gujrat then promoted as Assistant Credit manager (ACM) in Ahmedabad. I left my job because it was completely different from my field.
I was jobless for almost 5 months and applied almost in every company. Finally got a job in one of the best product based company in Bangalore.
I went through several faces of a job – Android Developer > Manual Tester > Automation tester > Cloud support > Automation tester.
I used to face so many issues in my day to day activity so I started recorded on blog spot (Open source by Google for blogging). One day I realized that users are visiting my content and they are sharing the same on social media.
This is how my blog started and finally, I shifted my blog from Blogspot to WordPress 🙂
I started my blog (Officially) in May 2014 and Started my YouTube Channel which has almost (68000+ still counting) subscribers.
If you found this blog is useful then please share with your friends who still have a fear about the blog or who are in manual and want to make their career in automation.
You can connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, linkedin, Instagram. YouTube Looking forward to meeting you people.

I have been following your all videos and they are so wonderfully prepared that it helps us to understand in simplest way. And the most important part which i loved is, the duration of the videos as they are not too exhaustive ones where someone has to go and see the duration as to much still is left. You completely grab the viewers attention right from first second itself. Please continue to post more videos on Selenium as we are looking forward to you.
Thank You

Hi sandeep,
Am installed Jenkins in my machine windows 10 64 bit.
Jenkins version is jenkins-2.121.2 am find the source code management am not found “github” option only displaying none.
Hi Sandeep,
Have you gone through installation of suggested plugins which jenkins shows while installation?
Also check whether you have *Git* option in job configuration.
Hi Mukesh,
Can u tell me how to run Protractor in Eclipse?
Hi Nandhini,
Obviously, you are running a command on command prompt in order to trigger your script. So inside your project in eclipse, create .bat file(if windows OS) and provide same command into it.
Very nice, tutorials. Keep it up..
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your overwhelming comments…:)
Hi Mukesh,
Thanks a lot for making selenium videos, really the videos are very helpful, thanks for u r support.
-> How to automate ck editor text box
Hi Niveditha,
In most of the cases, TinyMCE and CK Editor cannot be automated. Finding controls of various buttons will be ok but you won’t be able to automate things inside canvas. In short, automated scripts will be unstable.
Hi Mukesh sir!
Which Firefox version is compatible for selenium?
Hi Gajendra,
Use latest Selenium for latest FF with latest geckodriver.
Hi,
Any need to learn advance java concept.
Hi Bhushan,
As part of Selenium, it is not always required. But whenever you work on framework then advanced Java concepts will come into picture.
Hi Mukesh,
Your videos are so good. Good way of explaining things. I worked on manual testing. But I wanted to move on automation. I am beginner in selenium.Since when I started watching ur video, now I can automate any web application. Thank you for your support.
Hi Preeti,
Thanks for your sincere comment…Keep learning…:)
Hi Mukesh,
I am studying your basic java tutorials. it was very nice. thanks for the detailed explanation
Hi Shanmugapriya,
Thanks for your lovely comments…:)
Hi Mukesh,
Thanks a lot for your wonderful useful Automation tips and tutorial. It was really good Explained and very effective. Thanks again
Hi Amir,
Thanks for your overwhelming comments…:)
Hey Mukesh…
Thanks for the post on Jenkins..was helpful.
I have a doubt here:
The idea of Jenkins is to go headless .. but when i am running the testng.xml file from jenkins, it is opening the browser and running in a way it normally does.
What am i missing?
Hi Paras,
First of check whether Jenkins is running as service or not. Running headless is not a must functionality. May be latest version of Jenkins gives luxury for non headless too.
Best site I have ever seen. Thanks a million zillion.
Hi Kavitha,
Tons of thanks for your appreciation…:)

Hi Mukesh, I am getting an error when i start building in Jenkins. Error: Could not find or load main class ûcp.
Please help me soon.
Thanks in Advance
HI Bharat,
Please use Jenkins 2 with maven project to avoid this.
Hi Mukesh
I follow some of your tips and technique which you shared in your blog and youtube
Hi Paul,
I am very happy to read from you. I hope that in future also, I’ll keep serving to my blog readers.
Hi Mukesh,
Am trying to automate window based application with AutoIT. Is there any test report we can have for autoIT.
Hi Devi,
AutoIT is just a small tool which I don’t think provides its own reporting mechanism like QTP or UFT. You can inject your own report by adding log4j or any other report creation APIs’.
Hi..
Thanks alot I Morley prefer visit your YouTube and downloaded 86+ video tutorials rather this blog.. Visit right now because of who is this guy force me once’s to know you .. Really I visited lots of sites for selenium find they usually started with core java which everyone started.. But after that they did not committed to selenium clearly just one example but you did fantastic job describing each web element clearly and thanks again for this because you force me to learn automation nearly 2yrs of gaps from my 4ys manual testing experience to keeping eye on in inconsistency of manual testing to current market okkkkk
Hi Rajib,
Thanks for very big applause. You are always welcome to my blog.
Hi Mukesh,
I am working in a product base company and we want start automation.
As in every sprint we are getting enhancement for all most every pages, so my understanding we should go for POM framework .
Need you suggestion and guidance.
Hi Mousami,
Selection of framework depends on what kind of applications are getting tested. What all and kind of enhancements will come up in future so that less time has to be spent on framework side. The person with what level of automation/programming language knowledge is going to create/maintain scripts…so on. A precise answer to this kind of question is a bit difficult.
Hi Mukesh
Great strop about you!
A quick question-
Either in Selenium or Protractor, how to validate a paragraph text on the webpage?
Thanks
Srinivas
Hi Srinivas,
Capture whole paragraph which mostly comes under p tag. Store it in a String variable then verity it whole or its content.
Selenium version : 3.5.1
IDE used : Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers Oxygen (4.7.0)
Browser used: IE11
I am trying to click a bootstrap dropdown and then click on the links in that dropdown one by one. Then i go back to the dropdown again and then select the next link in the dropdown. I see that sometimes my script runs and opens each link.
Other times, it will open the first link and then cannot open the dropdown again to go to the second link.
I see this inconsistency in the behavior of IE.
However, my script works fine in chrome.
Do you also observe this inconsistency in behavior in IE for the websites when used with Selenium?
How can we mitigate the issues of IE11 browser with Selenium?
Hi Ambica,
There are lot of inconsistencies with IE browser. Selenium is good when combines with either chrome or firefox.
Hi Mukesh,
Can you please guide me on Creation of reports in pdf format and sending it to client automatically

A question on Sikuli, if we have click links that look alike how do we click on a specific link because Sikuli makes use of patterns as shown in pic files.
For eg the following web page has similar click links, in this case how do we identify them uniquely when writing a program using sikuli

Hi Mukesh.. i have a question on Mainframe automation using selenium..
1)Is it possible to automate mainframe using selenium?
2)If yes, any jar file or plugin you can suggest me? It would be helpful..could you please let me know any good approach which other companies are using for this..
Hi Praveen,
I never worked on Mainframe testing. And mainframe testing is more of db testing instead of functionality testing based on application UI. Selenium works only on Web UI. If your application has testing scenarios based on UI then you can ahead with UI stuffs with Selenium.
Hi Mukesh,
Could you please add a blog or video for Abstract class, user defined interface, method over riding and its practical usage in selenium automation frame work with example. this kind of questions are interviewers really focusing
Hi Mahesh,
Thanks for pointing out these topics. I’ll post some contents related to these topics soon.

I am facing problem in installtion of gecko driver and chrome driver with MAC .
@Test
public void ValidTest() {
WebDriver driver= new ChromeDriver();
System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver “, “/Users/C/driver/chromedriver”);
driver.get(“https://google.com”);
}
please correct me.
Hi Pallavi,
First of all, you have mentioned issue for geckodriver but here I can see chromedriver.
Next, if you are using chromedriver then call System.setProperty.. statement first then create chromedriver object.
HtML of drop down
HTML of text box
Hi i would like to enter Colorado as text in my text box and hit enter.
This is what i wrote , where exactly is the issue. It clicks the box element and enters “Colorado” But does not hit enter .
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“#s2id_regionSelect > a > span.select2-arrow”)).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“#s2id_autogen1_search”)).sendKeys(“Colorado”);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
WebElement textbox = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“#s2id_autogen1_search”));
textbox.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
If you can give me an example of entry text textbox in a dropdown and hit enter. The above is my exact question.
Hi Neeraj,
For ENTER key action, use either actions class(http://learn-automation.com/selenium-advance-activity/) or robot class(http://learn-automation.com/robot-class-in-selenium-webdriver/)
Hi Mukesh,
Need to know how to write the script in the Test NG – scenario is something like there are 3 cases and 1 test case is failing but with the use of try and catch we can easily pass the test case… i want that in the report of test ng it should show the failed test case as 1, provided that the test case which is suppose to get failed is getting passed with the help of try and catch block
it should not fail the test case and stop the post execution but it should show as failed one as failed in the test ng report.
Hi Rahul,
TestNG always looks for failure which comes from @Test annotation method. If you are deliberately handling that exception then it will always gives pass as status.
Hi Mukesh,

Hi Mukesh,
I am trying to automate application of Angular JS using Selenium but I am facing issues in Element recognition so what should be the best way so that I can automate using Selenium without getting any runtime issues of element recognition for Angular JS kind of applications, Thanks in advance
Hi Amit,
For automation of angular js based application, I would suggest you to go with Protractor. Protractor provides few more locator finder methods along with usual 8 Selenium locators. Moreover wait/sync issues will be very less while automating angular j application. Also check this link http://www.protractortest.org/#/api
how to use implicit wait in present selenium version

Hi Deepak,
The way of implementing implicit is same in Seleniun 2 & Selenium 3. Please refer this link http://learn-automation.com/implicit-wait-in-selenium-webdriver/
I am really stuck and didn’t find any way to learn automation. After doing research here and there finally i reached at your blog. And found a ray of hope. Its very structured and easy to understand everything. Thanks for making it free of cost also.

HI Mukesh,
i want to make a self healing framework.Basically a script can fail either of 2 issues:
1.Script issue
2.Application down.
so can we devise a framework with POM so that if a script fails due to either issue#1 or issue#2 the script should re run again and try to heal(fix) the issue and give a meaningful message if still it fails
Hi Indrajit,

Hi Suresh,

Hi Mukesh,
Is it possible to switch one instance to new instance and get back to old one?
Hi Sankar,
Whenever you instantiate driver object, it holds instance of browser being called which will be having some location in heap memory and once your script ends. gc clears off everything.
But using same script, you can create as many different instance of browser that too with different driver objects.
i have a test suite with 30 test cases. how can i run this parallel on different browsers.
i have watched all your videos but could not track how can i run a test suite with 30 test cases-cross browser testing. i would appreciate if you can reply many thanks
Hi Ali,
Please check this link http://learn-automation.com/cross-browser-testing-using-selenium-webdriver/

Hi Mukesh,
I am working on Appium, iam new to mobile automation. Our requirement is to execute our scripts in cloud(AWS). There in the AWS mobile device i am trying to invoke chrome browser but i am not able to do. could you please guide me to invoke chrome browser in virtual devices or emmulator devices.
Hi VInay,
I have done the same thing with BrowserStack http://learn-automation.com/selenium-grid-for-remote-execution/
Mukesh, I am facing one issue in selenium. I have created one main class which is accessing three other class and it is working fine. Main class, Login Class, Add brand class, List class and signout class. Now these all classes is accesses by Main class and I have set the priority with the help testng. My concern all the things are so fast while executing that I am unable to track. I have applied the “drv.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);” as well but by expanding the time it is not working. Unable to understand where to implement this implicit code. i.e. in main class or in child classes.
Hi Avishek,
Implicit and Explicit never makes the script execution slow. These waits are used in order to provide maximum time to wait for loading elements in DOM. If your is running fast without any issues then it is good.
But if you want to make it deliberately slow then use static wait.
Are this videos enough to learn selenium webdriver?
Hi Parag,
My videos are composed of Salenium basics and advanced. These are good to kickstart your selenium learning journey.
Hi Mukesh, I am getting the error using selenium 3.3.1 and firefox version 52.0.2 (64bit) : org.openqa.selenium.os.UnixProcess destroy
SEVERE: Unable to kill process with PID 5636
and I am also getting an exception: Unhandled event loop exception No more handle
So please guide me how can I solve these two things
Hi Pratap,
I am not very sure about this exception. As a solution, I would suggest you to use FF 46.0 with Selenium 2.53.1 and reply me back.
There are two test suites, And in one test suite if a test has so many methods how would run only Method1, Method2, Method3 and exclude rest and in another suite how would you make sure all methods are run? need answer for this
Hi Divya,
Use include/exclude tags against required methods. You can do this programmatically also using Java DOM Parser/SAX Parser.
Hi Mukesh,

Hi Imrul,
Which version of selenium are you running with?
Hi Mukesh
Thanks a lot dude . your tutorial videos are very helpful
Hi Bala,
Thanks for your constructive comments…:)
Hello Mukesh,
I have a query i.e,. How to generate PDF email-able Report in Java-Selenium. Usually HTML report is generated.
Thank you in advance.
Hi Chaithanya,
There is an API for for this, known as iTestPDF. For more information, please refer this link https://coderanch.com/how-to/javadoc/itext-2.1.7/com/lowagie/text/Document.html
Hi Mukesh,
Thank you for the guidance. I will surely refer to the provided link.
Your tutorials are very good with neat explanation. Keep up the good work. All the best 🙂
Hi Chaithanya,
Thank you so much for such a nice feedback. Keep in touch.
Hi Mukesh,
Hope you are doing well. I am writing this mail after watching your video about the page object model in selenium. I really liked the way you have made the things simpler to understand.
Now i am having a silly question about TestNG i hope you won’t mind answering. The thing is that as you was running the test case in the video we were seeing the console output saying, “Total case : 1 Fail:0”.
Now if go on the steps our test case was not complete because we were just doing the things and not making any validations. So after the login button is clicked, we should get it check that “Welcome to wordpress” is displayed there. If yes then our case is pass otherwise in console we should see it as test case or test method fail.
Can you guide me how can i write next set of lines to code this. Because i am new to TestNG and wanted to see both sides how a test cases fails and when it will be passed.
Will be glad if you can reply or give me some link of the source to explore about this.
Hi Meghraj,
You can put assertion by checking page title after login action and this assertion you can call from your main test case.
Hi Mukesh
Have you uploaded a video for ” Download Files in Selenium Webdriver Using AutoIT Part 2″ There is part 1 only on YouTube.
Hi Saurabh,
Very soon I’ll upload it.
Hi Mukesh
i am not able to get sceenshot in desired floder.
Hi Sunil,
Check whether you have full rights to desired folder.
How to handle the controls in the webpage in selenium?
Hi Saikrishna,
Could you please elaborate…
Hi Mukesh,
I am trying to click any option on Contect click on webpage (Right click -> access option”Select All” : Able to Select the option but no action is performed.)
Hi Kirti,
Which selenium version are you using?
Hi Mukesh, I am using Following versions :
Selenium : 2.52.0
Mozilla : 26.0
Hi Kirti,
Your FF version is quite old. Please give a try to Selenium 2.53.1 and FF 46.0
hi Mukesh,
I am trying to use the Extent report functionality and want to generate a report of all the classes in the testng suite for which i have configured my testng.xml file but im not able to get consolidated report. Only the report of the last run script is displayed.
Do i need to create a need to define the TestNG listener that creates the ExtentReports reports during test execution separately??
Hi Paras,
You can define static report object inside one java class and run it as beforetest and define logger inside each classes(actual script). Call endtest in each class and flush in aftertest.
Hi Mukesh,
Im doing exactly that but the problem is, it is not running the second class. After successful completion of the first class it is aborting with status in console as 1 passed and 1 failure (both classes are mentioned in testng.xml)
No errors displayed.
Hi Paras,
Try to debug your code.
Hi Mukesh,
did that, solved the issue.
🙂
Hi Paras,
I happy to see your reply. What was the actual issue?
Hey Mukesh,
i had declared report object as non static (similar to most of the objects in my project) and even as it was not giving an error, it was terminating the code as soon as flush was hit.
🙂
Ok…..:)
Hi Mukesh,
its very nice to see such a amazing hub where we can learn many things.
well,
I am working in HCL in aerospace domain, now i want to switch into another testing domain. kindly suggest the start so i can proceed for the same.
thanks in advance……!!
Hi Abhishek,
If you have know how of Java basics then start with Selenium basics otherwise I would suggest you to start with Java basics.
Hi Mukesh,
It’s very nice related selenium. I am preparing using your site only. Will you please share captch how we can handle in selenium.
Hi Sireesha,
Thanks for nice feedback. Captcha can’t be automated in Selenium.
Best of luck for interview.
Hi Mukesh,
i had gone through your basic java videos upto single dimensional array ..your video is very good.
Can you please upload new videos on concepts of arraylist.
Hi Atul,
Thanks for your comments and I am planning to upload for same.
Hi Sir,
I need to get the attribute of “value”.because it contains date …i need to print that.but this tag is hidden in xpath.. am using this code in java selenium using maven.
@FindBy(xpath = “//div[contains(@class,’date-range’)]/input[2]”)
WebElement selecteddate;
public void printSelectedDate() {
String script = “return arguments[0].innerHTML”;
String a=(String) js.executeScript(script,ex);
System.out.println(“the selected date is ” +a);
}
While i compile this code it throws null pointer exception.i dont know sir…pls explain me
Hi Sathya,
Please check if you are able to see attribute manually. May there could be a chance like any click and some other event on page can avail the corresponding date to appear as its attribute. Again, it depends on the control which has been used in your application.
Sir, I know manual testing only n i want to learn another tools like appium, it’s compulsory to learn selenium before appium or i can directly go to appium.. . Pls tell me wat r the req to learn appium.
Hi Rakesh,
Appium is nothing but it uses seleniumy scripts. Only initial configuration and little bit of other stuffs changes but rest all remain as like of Selenium. My suggestion for you is to have basic knowledge of programming language & selenium then start for Appium.
Hi mukesh
i have a issue in selenium grid. i have started hub and also register two noe one is my local and other is remote.i am using selenium 2.53.1 with fire fox version 47.0.1.but when i try to excute script its run on local system node but creating issue in remote system with following message.org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Cannot find firefox binary in PATH. Make sure firefox is installed. OS appears to be: VISTA
Hi Tarique,
Which architecture of FF are you running on node machines?
hi Mukesh,
Im working on automation for past one year.
Appreciate your help through your blog.
Had a query : how important is data structures during interviews and what about SQL
Hi Paras,
It all depends on JD.
But as automation tester, knowledge of data structures is almost must. If you have developed an UI automation framework then you might have included data structures.
SQl is another aspect. But basic know how of SQL is mandatory.
Hi Mukesh,
How to click the element once the polling time of the particular element is finished.
Hi Madhan,
Use fluentwait, check this link http://learn-automation.com/fluentwait-in-selenium-webdriver/
Hi Mukesh I have one doubt how to delete multiple emails at a time by using selenium web driver
Hi Pullareddy,
Selenium purely works on UI. If you can take select multiple email from Inbox/any other folder followed by click on Delete button then it is possible.
Hi Mukesh,
I have been reading some rows of data from an Excel spreadsheet and everything was working just fine. Suddenly my get methods only return null values for certain elements (not for all strangely enough) and I have no idea why. The values in the spreadsheet have not changed at all. Have you got an idea how to solve this? Many thanks.
Hi Been,
Give a try by using copy of existing excel file.
Hi Mukesh,
I have recently faced in one issue that was mouse over action not working in safari browser in my project but it will working remaining browser like firefox,chrome..etc. can you help me

Hi Mukesh, I am new to automation. I had a query that, I have to run set of test case(tc 1, tc2..) on multiple browser(chromee, ie…) with multiple sites(url1, url2…) . Please suggest how to go with it in Testng
Hi Avinash,
Kindly refer these link http://learn-automation.com/cross-browser-testing-using-selenium-webdriver/
Hi Mukesh, Your explanations are really good. Very convincing. Rock on. I have a simple query. What is the difference between size and length in Java say number.size and number.length?
Hi Anaga,
size method used for collection and length will be applicable for array.
Very Well explanation in all videos, I always tried to move in to automation. I start some work and left when I stuck because there was no guidence for me. One day I have seen your blogs and video i found it owesome. From that day I start learning selenium using your videos and blogs. Thanks Mukesh
Hey Shilpa,
Thank you so much for kind words. Keep learning and let me know if any help required.
hi Mukesh,
You have any idea about how to develop super test framework,
No Srikanth but i will check and if possible i will update article on this.
Hi Mukesh, Loved you video on POM. When you have time can you please post a tutorial using Python and POM ?
Hi Sree,
Thanks for your comments. I’ll post it soon.
Hi Mukesh,
I am a continuous visitor of your website learn automation and i really appreciate the amount of good work you have performed.
Currently in my project i need to integrate Axe tool with Selenium webdriver so can you please guide me how to do that and Is it possible?
Thanks in Advance!

Vaneet Bish
Hi Vaneet,
I have not tried this but will check.
Hi Mukesh, Can you please tell me high level how to integrate TestNG with Keyword driven framework. We are using Keyword driven framework. If there is any post in your blog, Kindly send me the link. Thank you for your wonderful posts
Hi Ramesh,
You can refer this link http://learn-automation.com/testng-tutorials-for-beginners/
your explanation is too good. Can you post small example for Selenium automation framework from scratch?
Hi Satyavathi,
As such, there is an example for Page Object Model which is itself a framework. You check it on the link here http://learn-automation.com/page-object-model-using-selenium-webdriver/
Hi Mukesh,
I make dynamic path in script and it’s check in firebug also via single matching row fetch there but mostly not work during script run.
Hi Sudhir,
This mostly happens when some controls/ webtable generates dynamically. You need to take of these or else try to check dynamic xpaths from chrome browser in between execution of script by stopping the execution.
Is it possible to integrate Testng with Keyword driven frame work? By the way all your posts on this blog are awesome.
Hi Sandeep,
First of all thanks for your appreciation.
Secondly, Yes…!!! it is possible. TestNG is not specific for Selenium Automation framework. TestNG facilitates execution of scripts and makes life of Automation Tester/Developer easy.
Hi Mukesh,
Your page factory concept and Cucumber concepts are very well explained.
I would like to know that how to integrate Page Factory using cucumber. Do i have to use/call all my webelements locators(@findBy) defined in one page (the page that has constructor defined) or i can locate them in individual pages as i go further ?
Please make some more videos using cucumber if possible. Many thanks again
