Click with Confidence: Testing Button Actions Using Selenium WebDriver

This article will walk you through working with a Button , using a simple example built with Selenium WebDriver and TestNG.

What is Button?

A button is a common web element used to perform actions such as submitting , navigating , triggering , and more.

In this quick guide, you’ll learn how to effectively interact with buttons and validate their behavior .

1. Click on the button and Confirm the title of the page

WebElement loginButton=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@type='submit']"));
loginButton.click();

verify the title of the button using assertions

String expectedTitile="OrangeHRM";
String actualTitle= driver.getTitle();
Assert.assertEquals(actualTitle,expectedTitile,"Title is not matching ")

2.Find the position of the button

WebElement loginButton=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@type='submit']"));
Point xyPoint= loginButton.getLocation();
        int x=xyPoint.getX();
        int y=xyPoint.getY();
 System.out.println("X point is "+ x +" "+ "Y point is"+ y);

3.Find the color of the button

WebElement loginButton=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@type='submit']"));
        String colorofLoginButton= loginButton.getCssValue("background-color");
        System.out.println("Login button's color is "+ colorofLoginButton);

4.Find the size of the button

WebElement loginButton=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@type='submit']"));
        int height=loginButton.getSize().getHeight();
        int width=loginButton.getSize().getWidth();
        System.out.println("Login Button's height is "+ height );
        System.out.println("Login Button's width is "+ width);

5.check that the button is Displayed

WebElement loginButton=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@type='submit']"));
loginButton.isDisplayed();

6.check that the button is Enabled

WebElement loginButton=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@type='submit']"));
loginButton.isEnabled();

In this example, I’m using Selenium alongside TestNG
