Which exception is thrown when Selenium cannot locate an element using the provided locator?** A) TimeoutException B) NoSuchElementException C) StaleElementReferenceException D) ElementNotVisibleException Answer: B Explanation: `NoSuchElementException` indicates the element was not found in the DOM at the time of the call. ## Tester using Java Certification Exam ## Preparation Explanation: `ChromeDriver` is the WebDriver implementation for Google Chrome. **Question 17. What does the `driver.getTitle()` method return?** A) The URL of the current page B) The source code of the page C) The title text of the current page D) The number of open windows Answer: C Explanation: `getTitle()` fetches the `` element content of the loaded page. **Question 18. Which Selenium command navigates the browser back to the previous page?** A) driver.forward(); B) driver.back(); C) driver.refresh(); D) driver.navigate().to(); Answer: B Explanation: `driver.back()` simulates the browser’s back button. **Question 19. Which locator strategy is generally the fastest and most reliable?** A) XPath B) CSS Selector C) id D) linkText Answer: C ## Tester using Java Certification Exam ## Preparation Explanation: Locating by `id` uses the browser’s native DOM lookup, making it the quickest. **Question 20. Which XPath expression selects an element whose `class` attribute contains the word `active`?** A) //\*[@class='active'] B) //\*[@class='*active*'] C) //\*[contains(@class,'active')] D) //\*[starts-with(@class,'active')] Answer: C Explanation: `contains()` checks for a substring within the attribute value. **Question 21.

B) `findElement` throws an exception if no match, `findElements` returns an empty list. C) Both return the first matching element. ## Tester using Java Certification Exam ## Preparation B) ListBox C) Options D) Select Answer: D Explanation: Selenium’s `Select` class provides methods like `isMultiple()` and `deselectAll()` for multi-select dropdowns. **Question 26. To retrieve the text from the third cell of the second row in an HTML table, which XPath would you use?** A) //table/tr[2]/td[3] B) //table//tr[2]/td[3] C) //table//tr[3]/td[2] D) //table/row[2]/cell[3] Answer: B Explanation: `//table//tr[2]/td[3]` navigates to the second `` (row) and third `` (cell). **Question 27. Which Selenium wait sets a timeout for locating all elements globally?** A) Implicit Wait B) Explicit Wait C) Fluent Wait D) Thread.sleep() Answer: A Explanation: Implicit wait applies to every element search, causing WebDriver to poll the DOM for the defined time. ## Tester using Java Certification Exam ## Preparation **Question 28. Which ExpectedCondition checks that an element is clickable?** A) visibilityOfElementLocated B) elementToBeClickable C) presenceOfElementLocated D) textToBePresentInElementLocated Answer: B Explanation: `elementToBeClickable` ensures the element is both visible and enabled. **Question 29. In a FluentWait, which method allows you to ignore specific exceptions during polling?** A) withTimeout() B) pollingEvery() C) ignoring() D) until() Answer: C Explanation: `ignoring(Class)` tells FluentWait to suppress listed exceptions while waiting. **Question 30. Why is `Thread.sleep()` discouraged in professional Selenium test suites?** A) It throws a checked exception. B) It pauses the entire JVM, slowing down execution and causing flaky tests. C) It only works on Windows OS. D) It cannot be used with TestNG. ## Tester using Java Certification Exam ## Preparation B) driver.getWindowHandles(); C) driver.getAllWindowHandles(); D) driver.getHandles(); Answer: B Explanation: `getWindowHandles()` provides a Set containing each window’s unique identifier. **Question 34. Which Actions class method performs a right-click on a target element?** A) doubleClick() B) contextClick() C) clickAndHold() D) moveToElement() Answer: B Explanation: `contextClick()` triggers the browser’s context (right-click) menu on the specified element. **Question 35. How can you scroll an element into view using JavaScriptExecutor?** A) ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,200)"); B) ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element); C) ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("document.scrollTop=element.offsetTop" ); D) ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("scrollTo(element)"); Answer: B ## Tester using Java Certification Exam ## Preparation Explanation: `scrollIntoView(true)` brings the element into the visible part of the browser window. **Question 36. Which class is used to simulate keyboard events at the OS level, such as handling native file upload dialogs?** A) Actions B) Robot C) Keyboard D) InputSimulator Answer: B Explanation: `java.awt.Robot` can generate native system input events, enabling interaction with OS dialogs. **Question 37. In TestNG, which annotation is executed **once before** any test methods in the suite?** A) @BeforeMethod B) @BeforeClass C) @BeforeTest D) @BeforeSuite Answer: D Explanation: `@BeforeSuite` runs a single time before the entire TestNG suite starts. **Question 38. Which TestNG assertion will continue test execution even if the condition fails?** A) Assert.assertTrue() B) Assert.assertEquals() ## Tester using Java Certification Exam ## Preparation **Question 41. Which TestNG listener interface can be used to generate a custom report after suite execution?** A) ITestListener B) ISuiteListener C) IInvokedMethodListener D) IAnnotationTransformer Answer: B Explanation: `ISuiteListener` provides callbacks `onStart` and `onFinish` for the entire suite, useful for custom reporting. **Question 42. In the Page Object Model, where should the WebElement definitions reside?** A) In the test class B) In a separate utility class C) Inside page classes representing each page D) In the TestNG XML file Answer: C Explanation: POM encapsulates page-specific locators and actions inside dedicated page classes. **Question 43. Which annotation is used with Selenium’s PageFactory to locate elements?** A) @FindAll B) @FindBy C) @CacheLookup D) @ElementLocator ## Tester using Java Certification Exam ## Preparation Answer: B Explanation: `@FindBy` specifies the locator strategy for a WebElement field. **Question 44. How does the `@CacheLookup` annotation affect a PageFactory element?** A) It refreshes the element on every call. B) It caches the element after the first lookup, improving performance. C) It disables lazy initialization. D) It forces a new driver instance.
