Selenium Java - Page Object Model

Given the following action method in a page object:

public void enterText(String text) {
    inputField.clear();
    inputField.sendKeys(text);
}

What will happen if this method is called with an empty string?

AThe input field will retain its previous text

BThe input field will be cleared and left empty

CAn exception will be thrown because empty strings are invalid

DThe input field will be cleared and then filled with a space

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze method behavior with empty string
The method first clears the input field, then sends the provided text (empty string).
Step 2: Understand sendKeys with empty string
Sending an empty string does not add any characters, so the field remains empty after clearing.
Final Answer:
The input field will be cleared and left empty -> Option B
Quick Check:
sendKeys("") = empty field after clear [OK]

Quick Trick: clear() empties field; sendKeys("") adds nothing [OK]
