Test Automation Concepts - Study Guide

1. OOPs Concepts (Object-Oriented Programming)


- Inheritance, Encapsulation, Polymorphism, and Abstraction
These principles help structure reusable and maintainable test frameworks (e.g., POM design pattern).

2. Classes and Objects


- Fundamental for creating test scripts and POM structure.
Each web page can be represented as a class; elements as objects.

3. Constructors
- Used to initialize object states when POM classes are instantiated in test scripts.

4. Inheritance and Method Overriding


- Helps in code reusability and customizing behavior of base test classes or utility classes.

5. Exception Handling
- Essential for gracefully handling failures in tests using try-catch blocks.

6. Collections Framework
- Interfaces like List, Set, Map are commonly used to store and retrieve groups of WebElements, test data, etc.

7. Loops and Conditional Statements


- Used for iterating through lists of elements or applying conditional logic in test validations.

8. Strings and StringBuilder


- Useful for handling dynamic text, XPath construction, and parsing responses.

9. File Handling
- Reading/writing Excel, JSON, or text files for data-driven testing.

10. Java Streams & Lambda Expressions (Java 8+)


- Clean and efficient way to process collections, especially helpful for filtering and mapping WebElements.

11. Static and Final Keywords


- `static`: Shared resources like WebDriver instance.
- `final`: Prevent unwanted modification in constants or base classes.

12. Access Modifiers


- Public, private, protected: important for structuring reusable and secure test code across packages.

13. Multithreading (Basic Understanding)


- Useful in parallel test execution (e.g., TestNG parallel suite execution).

14. Annotations
- Extensively used in frameworks like TestNG and JUnit for test case configuration (@Test, @BeforeMethod, etc.)

15. Packages and Imports


- Organize and modularize the automation code base effectively for large projects.

Bonus: Java Libraries for Testing


- Apache POI (Excel)
- Jackson/Gson (JSON parsing)
- Log4j/SLF4J (Logging)
- Selenium, TestNG, JUnit
