1. User registration/login
2. Payment gateway integration (if applicable)
3. Search filters and sorting
4. Product/service details pages
5. Reviews and ratings (if present)
6. Commenting system (if present)

User Experience (UX):
1. Responsive design (mobile, tablet, desktop)
2. Page loading speed
3. Navigation and menu usability
4. Content readability
5. Error handling and messaging

Security:
1. HTTPS encryption
2. Password hashing and storage
3. Input validation and sanitization
4. CSRF protection
5. Secure payment processing

Accessibility:
1. Screen reader compatibility
2. Keyboard navigation
3. High contrast mode
4. Closed captions (if video content)

Browser and Device Compatibility:
1. Test on multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
2. Test on different devices (desktop, laptop, mobile, tablet)
3. Verify consistency across devices and browsers

Other:
1. Social media integration
2. Newsletter subscription
3. Contact form functionality

Run two browsers simultaneously in Selenium

package TEST;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Selenium_Latest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create and start two threads, one for each browser.
        Thread chromeThread = new Thread(new BrowserRunnable("chrome"));
        Thread firefoxThread = new Thread(new BrowserRunnable("firefox"));

        chromeThread.start();
        firefoxThread.start();
    }

}

// Runnable class for launching a browser
class BrowserRunnable implements Runnable {
    private String browserType;

    public BrowserRunnable(String browserType) {
        this.browserType = browserType;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        WebDriver driver = null;

        if (browserType.equals("chrome")) {
            driver = new ChromeDriver();
        } else if (browserType.equals("firefox")) {
            driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        }

        if (driver != null) {
            driver.get("https://suriyaparithy.blogspot.com/");

            // Optionally, get the title and print it for each browser
            String title = driver.getTitle();
            System.out.println(browserType + " Browser - Page Title: " + title);

            // Closing the browser after operation
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

Difference Between Global, Environment, and Collection Variables in Postman

Global Variables:

Stored globally across all requests and collections.
It can be accessed from any request or collection.
Use cases: API keys, common headers, or base URLs

Environment Variables:

Stored within a specific environment (e.g., dev, staging, prod).
It can be accessed only from requests within the same environment.
Use cases: Environment-specific settings, such as URLs, credentials, or timeouts.

Collection Variables:

Stored within a specific collection.
It can be accessed only from requests within the same collection.
Use cases: Collection-specific settings, such as API endpoints, headers, or query parameters.

Selenium XPath in detail

What is XPATH?

It is an XML path.
It is one of the locator types in selenium.
It uses path expression to navigate in XML documents and to identify a node or number of nodes.
XPath is used to handle complex and dynamic paths.

Types of XPATH in Selenium:
1. Absolute XPath
2. Relative XPath

What is Absolute XPath?

Absolute path starts from <HTML> tag.
It uses / ( forward slash ).
It is used to identify any element direct way by consider all the tag starts from <HTML> tag.
It is much more faster than "Relative xpath" as it holds the direct path to the target node/tag/element from start <Html> tag.
But we will mostly use this one if it holds a long string path and is difficult to maintain or handle. It is not a shortend path.

What is Relative XPath?

It uses // ("forward double slash") .
It will consider any node/element/tag as a refernce point from where either we can traverse forard or reverse direction to identify target node/tag.
It is mostly used as we are considering any node as a reference node (stable node) from a DOM.

Java code to automate the extraction of two numbers from a web page

package system;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;

public class Practice {

WebDriver driver;

@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
driver = new ChromeDriver();
}

@Test(description = "extraction of two numbers from a web page")
public void test() throws InterruptedException {

driver.get("https://ultimateqa.com/complicated-page");

// Locate the element containing the CAPTCHA question
WebElement captchaElement = driver.findElement(By.className("et_pb_contact_captcha_question"));

// Extract the CAPTCHA question text
String captchaText = captchaElement.getText().trim(); // Example: "5 + 6"

// Split the text to get the operands
String[] parts = captchaText.split("\\+");
int firstNumber = Integer.parseInt(parts[0].trim());
int secondNumber = Integer.parseInt(parts[1].trim());

// Calculate the sum
int sum = firstNumber + secondNumber;

// Print the sum (for debugging purposes)
System.out.println("Extracted Numbers: " + firstNumber + " + " + secondNumber + " = " + sum);

// Enter the sum into the CAPTCHA input field
WebElement captchaInputField = driver.findElement(By.className("et_pb_contact_captcha"));
captchaInputField.sendKeys(String.valueOf(sum));
}
}
