UI Elements


UI Elements

Simply, UI = User Interface

Consider any Application, Here I’m taking
www.google.com as an example.

If you navigate to Google URL on any browser, it should be look like below.




From this, you can observe something like below in the application.
Search box, buttons (Sign In, Google Search, I’m Feeling Lucky), Google Image, Links (Gmail, Images) and many more
So, all these elements are available in user interface. Hence, we called them as “UI ELEMENTS

We can have categorized all above elements in 2 ways
Input Elements: Search box, buttons, Google Image, Links
Output Elements: Google Result

Operations which you performed on input/output elements is called as Input / Output Actions

Input Actions: Clicks, Text Typing, Mouse Hover, Key board Shortcuts
Output Actions: Getting Text, Finding Elements, Getting Results

From above, UI elements only constructs an application, if we know how to interact with them enables you to implement UI automation much faster and easier.

All interactions with the UI can be split into input and output as discussed above. This categorization helps you better understand which actions to use in different scenarios, when to use them, and the technology behind them. These are also going to be useful when dealing with scraping (Which discuss later)

Then the very Next Question is
How to Interact with UI Elements?

Generally, when we trying to identify a person/thing we took some properties (Height, width, color). In the same way, if you want to interact with UI Elements, you’ve to consider UI Elements properties

Variables, Data Types and Math Operations

  In order to do anything interesting in a program, we must have the ability to store and manipulate values. What allows us to do that are what we call variables. Now a variable, simply put, is just named data storage. Now Java is a strongly ‑ typed language. Now what that means is that when we declare a variable like, in this case, we have a variable named data Value, we have to specify the type of that variable, in this case, it's what we call an int, something that can store integers. So, what that means is that the data Value variable can only store things that are compatible with the type int. As we go through the course, we'll talk about this idea of one type being compatible with another. Now when we declare a variable, we can, of course, then assign a value to it, so our variable data Value now holds the value 100. Now when we use variables, we can do it the way we've done here where we declare it, then assign it, or as a matter of convenience, we can declare them a...

JRE vs. JDK

  The JRE and the JDK are two terms you hear people mention very frequently in the Java world, and what they are the two parts that we need in order to run and create Java applications. The JRE is the Java Runtime Environment. JDK is the Java Development Kit. And so, the JRE is what you require in order to run Java applications, and end users normally install the JRE. They're the ones who are going to run our apps. The JDK provides the tools that we need to create Java apps. So, normally, developers are the ones who install the JDK on their machines. And in order to develop apps, you need to run them, so the JDK installation includes a JRE. So how does all this work together? If we sit down, and we type up a Java source file with our program code inside of it, and we want to go ahead and run that in some host environment, how do we do it? A host environment might be Windows, Linux. It could be Mac. It could even be a browser. It might be a phone running Android. How do we get from ...
