Handling Multiple Windows in Selenium WebDriver

Introduction: When working with web applications, you may need to handle multiple browser windows or tabs. Selenium WebDriver provides a way to manage and switch between these windows effortlessly.

Main Points:

• Switching Between Windows: Selenium WebDriver allows you to switch between different windows using their window handles. Here’s an example:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class WindowHandlingExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.get("https://example.com");

// Get the main window handle

String mainWindowHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();

// Open a new tab or window and switch to it

driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.TAB);

driver.get("https://another-example.com");

// Switch back to the main window

driver.switchTo().window(mainWindowHandle);

driver.quit();

}

}

• Use Cases: Handling multiple windows is particularly useful when dealing with pop-ups, third-party login pages, or when you need to compare content between two pages.

Conclusion: Efficiently managing multiple windows in Selenium WebDriver ensures that your tests can handle complex scenarios involving multiple pages or tabs.
