Introduction to Geolocation: The concept of geolocation, which is identifying the physical location of an Internet-connected device, is introduced.

Setting Geolocation with Selenium: The tutorial demonstrates two methods for changing a device's location for testing purposes:

Using a cloud-based Selenium Grid. Utilizing the new features introduced in Selenium 4.

Practical Demonstration: The presenter walks through the process of marking geolocation and changing it to a different place using both methods mentioned above. The demonstration includes:

How to use the cloud-based Selenium Grid for geolocation testing with an example using LambdaTest's Automation Capabilities Generator. Utilizing Selenium 4's features to mock geolocation directly in the test script.

Code and Test Framework: The video shows how to implement these methods using TestNG as the test framework. The presenter provides a step-by-step guide to writing the code necessary for geolocation testing, including setting up the WebDriver, configuring desired capabilities, and writing test methods.

Resources and Tools: The tutorial also mentions resources like the Chrome DevTools Protocol and websites like rightmi.org for obtaining geolocation coordinates. Additionally, tools like WebDriverManager for setting up ChromeDriver are highlighted.

Application Use Cases: The video explains how geolocation testing can be valuable, such as for applications that offer different features based on the user's location.

LambdaTest Platform: Throughout the tutorial, LambdaTest's platform is used to demonstrate how to configure and run geolocation tests in a cloud environment.
