Scenarios to automate
Work top to bottom — each one adds a new technique.
- 1
Operator detection
BeginnerAfter 10 digits a spinner runs ~0.8s, then detected-operator shows the circle. 6xxxxxxxxx is rejected.
- 2
Plan tabs & filter
BeginnerSwitch plan-tab-*, apply validity-filter and assert the plan-card count.
- 3
Compare limit
IntermediateTick 4 compare-* boxes: the 4th shows compare-error; compare-button opens compare-table.
- 4
Promo code
IntermediateSKY20 shows cashback in promo-message and summary-cashback; other codes are rejected.
- 5
Payment method validation
IntermediatePay with no method, a bad UPI ID or an empty wallet to see each error-*.
- 6
Async status
Advancedrecharge-status starts as “Pending with operator” and becomes “Successful” ~2.5s later — wait for text, not time.
- 7
Toggles & progress bars
AdvancedOn My account, read aria-valuenow of usage-* bars and flip addon-* switches (role=switch).
- 8
Complaint form
IntermediateA description under 20 chars fails; a valid one shows complaint-ticket with an SR number.
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.
