Checking state (isDisplayed, isEnabled, isSelected) in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test checks if a checkbox is visible, enabled, and selected on a web page. It verifies the checkbox's display, enabled state, and selection state to ensure it behaves as expected.

Test Code - JUnit

Selenium Java

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.*;

public class CheckboxStateTest {
    WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeEach
    public void setUp() {
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://example.com/checkboxpage");
    }

    @Test
    public void testCheckboxStates() {
        WebElement checkbox = driver.findElement(By.id("subscribeCheckbox"));

        // Check if checkbox is displayed
        assertTrue(checkbox.isDisplayed(), "Checkbox should be visible");

        // Check if checkbox is enabled
        assertTrue(checkbox.isEnabled(), "Checkbox should be enabled");

        // Check if checkbox is not selected initially
        assertFalse(checkbox.isSelected(), "Checkbox should not be selected initially");

        // Click the checkbox to select it
        checkbox.click();

        // Verify checkbox is selected after click
        assertTrue(checkbox.isSelected(), "Checkbox should be selected after clicking");
    }

    @AfterEach
    public void tearDown() {
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Execution Trace - 9 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts and Chrome browser opens	Chrome browser window is open and ready	-	PASS
2	Navigates to https://example.com/checkboxpage	Page with checkbox loaded in browser	-	PASS
3	Finds checkbox element by id 'subscribeCheckbox'	Checkbox element is located on the page	-	PASS
4	Checks if checkbox is displayed using isDisplayed()	Checkbox is visible on the page	assertTrue(checkbox.isDisplayed())	PASS
5	Checks if checkbox is enabled using isEnabled()	Checkbox is enabled and can be clicked	assertTrue(checkbox.isEnabled())	PASS
6	Checks if checkbox is selected using isSelected()	Checkbox is not selected initially	assertFalse(checkbox.isSelected())	PASS
7	Clicks the checkbox to select it	Checkbox is now selected	-	PASS
8	Verifies checkbox is selected after click using isSelected()	Checkbox remains selected after click	assertTrue(checkbox.isSelected())	PASS
9	Test ends and browser closes	Browser window is closed	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Checkbox element is not found or not visible/enabled as expected

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the test check first about the checkbox?

A If the checkbox is visible on the page

B If the checkbox is selected

C If the checkbox is clickable

D If the checkbox is checked by default

Key Result

Always verify the element's visibility, enabled state, and selection state before and after interaction to ensure UI elements behave as expected.
