One of the essential parts when performing automated UI testing, whether using Selenium or another framework, is identifying the correct web elements the tests will interact with. However, if the web elements are not located correctly, you might get NoSuchElementException in Selenium. This would cause a false negative result because we won’t get to the actual functionality check. Instead, our test will fail simply because it failed to interact with the correct element.

The web paradigm has changed considerably over the last few years. Web 2.0, a term coined way back in 1999, was one of the pivotal moments in the history of the Internet. UGC (User Generated Content), ease of use, and interoperability for the end-users were the key pillars of Web 2.0. Consumers who were only consuming content up till now started creating different forms of content (e.g., text, audio, video, etc.).

When most firms employed a waterfall development model, it was widely joked about in the industry that Google kept its products in beta forever. Google has been a pioneer in making the case for in-production testing. Traditionally, before a build could go live, a tester was responsible for testing all scenarios, both defined and extempore, in a testing environment. However, this concept is evolving on multiple fronts today. For example, the tester is no longer testing alone. Developers, designers, build engineers, other stakeholders, and end users, both inside and outside the product team, are testing the product and providing feedback.
