Scenarios to automate

Work top to bottom — each one adds a new technique.

  1. 1

    Buy vs Rent

    Beginner

    mode-rent swaps the budget options (₹/month) and the listings; price labels end in /mo.

  2. 2

    Combined filters

    Intermediate

    bhk-* chips + budget-min/max + type-* + furnishing; a min above max shows budget-error.

  3. 3

    Sorting & views

    Intermediate

    estate-sort by price; view-list/view-grid changes data-view on property-list.

  4. 4

    Shortlist state

    Beginner

    shortlist-<id> toggles aria-pressed and the shortlist-count badge; it persists across reloads.

  5. 5

    Compare limit

    Intermediate

    Tick compare-* on 2–3 shortlisted homes for compare-table; a 4th shows compare-limit.

  6. 6

    Gallery carousel

    Beginner

    gallery-next/prev wrap around; thumb-* jumps; gallery-counter shows “n / 4”.

  7. 7

    EMI maths

    Advanced

    Change emi-down, emi-rate, emi-tenure and verify emi-loan and emi-result against the formula.

  8. 8

    Masked phone & visits

    Intermediate

    contact-agent masks the number until reveal-phone; book-visit validates, then list/cancel it under My visits.

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.
