Agriculture with Selenium
Three tools in tabs: a sortable mandi price table with price alerts, a fertiliser calculator that turns soil-test levels into urea/DAP/MOP bag counts, and equipment rental with dates and day steppers.

Scenarios to automate
Work top to bottom — each one adds a new technique.
- 1
Tab switching
Beginneragri-tab-* are role=tab with aria-selected; only the active panel is rendered.
- 2
Sort a column
Beginnersort-modal-price toggles descending/ascending; aria-sort on the header changes too.
- 3
Dependent data
IntermediateChanging price-state or price-crop reloads price-row rows and alert-market options.
- 4
Alert logic
IntermediateSetting an alert below the current price says “already above”; above it says “we'll notify you”.
- 5
Calculator maths
AdvancedWheat, 5 acres, soil N low / P medium / K high → urea 12, DAP 6, MOP 2 bags.
- 6
Calculator validation
BeginnerMissing crop/soil or area outside 0–100 shows fert-error.
- 7
Rental totals
Intermediaterental-total = per-day rate × rental-days; book-rental stays disabled until equipment and date are chosen.
Sample Selenium suite
A working starting point that finds elements every way Selenium can — by role, label, text, id, name, CSS, XPath and data-testid — so you practice them all. Pick your language, switch to data-testid only to compare, or try your own in the Locator Playground.
