Summary

The text provides a comprehensive guide on how to perform scrolling actions in Selenium WebDriver using C#. It explains that while Selenium version 4.2 introduced scroll wheel actions for the Chromium browser, the JavaScriptExecutor interface remains essential for scrolling in other browsers or older versions. The JavaScriptExecutor is highlighted as a tool for executing JavaScript code to interact with web elements, including scrolling up, down, and horizontally on a page. Various methods for scrolling, such as scrolling to the bottom, top, or specific elements, and scrolling by a certain number of pixels, are demonstrated with code examples. The text also discusses handling exceptions like NoSuchElementException and ElementClickInterceptedException by using JavaScriptExecutor. Additionally, it introduces the testing platform LambdaTest for running tests in different environments and highlights the importance of efficient scrolling in test automation. The text concludes by emphasizing the role of JavaScriptExecutor in overcoming Selenium’s limitations for web interactions and mentions a certification from LambdaTest for demonstrating proficiency in Selenium C# automation.
