Logistics with Selenium
Pincode serviceability lookups that auto-fill the city, volumetric vs chargeable weight maths, service rules, COD limits, a barcode label and a live tracking timeline.

Scenarios to automate
Work top to bottom — each one adds a new technique.
- 1
Pincode lookup
BeginnerAfter 6 digits a spinner runs, then sender-city shows the city; unknown pincodes show “Not serviceable”.
- 2
Weight maths
Intermediate30×20×15 cm → volumetric-weight 1.8 kg; chargeable-weight is the higher value rounded up to 0.5 kg.
- 3
Service rules
Intermediateservice-same-day is disabled unless both pincodes are in the same city.
- 4
COD limit
IntermediateDeclared value above ₹20,000 with pay-cod shows error-payment.
- 5
Live quote
Beginnerfreight-charge and shipment-total update as weight, service, insurance and payment change.
- 6
Label & barcode
Intermediateawb-number is SF + 10 digits; download-label saves a text file named after it.
- 7
Polling a timeline
AdvancedA new shipment's current-status moves Booked → Picked up → In transit every ~4s; wait for text.
- 8
Unknown AWB
BeginnerTracking a random AWB shows track-error; SF1234567890 shows a delivered journey.
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.
