Key Topics Covered

Introduction to Browser Minimization: The importance of minimizing the browser during test execution to streamline the testing process without the visual interruption of browser activities.

Using the Minimize Method: Demonstrates how to use Selenium's built-in .minimize() method as part of the WebDriver's window management capabilities to minimize the browser window during test execution.

Using the Set Position Method: Explains how to manipulate the browser window's position off-screen using the .setPosition() method with specific coordinates to effectively minimize the browser from view.

Using the Robot Class for Minimization: Introduces a more advanced technique involving the Java AWT Robot class to simulate keyboard shortcuts (Windows key + D) for minimizing all open windows, including the browser window.

Practical Example and Application: The tutorial includes a practical example where the instructor writes and executes a JUnit 5 test script that interacts with a web page (Lambda Test’s bootstrap alert messages page), demonstrating each method to minimize the browser. The test script involves clicking a button on the web page and verifying a success message without the browser window being visible.

Assertions and Verifications: Along with minimizing the browser, the tutorial covers how to perform assertions to verify the correctness of the test outcomes, ensuring that the expected results are achieved even when the browser is minimized.

Utility Functions: The video also introduces utility functions such as a custom hardWait() method to insert pauses in the test script, allowing viewers to observe the effect of browser minimization during the execution.

Further Learning Resources: At the conclusion, the instructor encourages viewers to explore additional resources and certifications available on their website for further education in Selenium and automated testing.
