EdgeOptions configuration in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test opens the Microsoft Edge browser with customized options using EdgeOptions. It verifies that the browser starts with the specified options and navigates to the correct URL.

Test Code - JUnit 5

Selenium Java

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeOptions;
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.assertEquals;

public class EdgeOptionsTest {
    private WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeEach
    public void setUp() {
        EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
        options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
        driver = new EdgeDriver(options);
    }

    @Test
    public void testNavigateToExample() {
        driver.get("https://example.com");
        String currentUrl = driver.getCurrentUrl();
        assertEquals("https://example.com", currentUrl);
    }

    @AfterEach
    public void tearDown() {
        if (driver != null) {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

Execution Trace - 5 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Create EdgeOptions instance and add arguments '--start-maximized' and '--disable-notifications'	EdgeOptions object configured with specified arguments	-	PASS
2	Initialize EdgeDriver with the configured EdgeOptions	Microsoft Edge browser opens with maximized window and notifications disabled	-	PASS
3	Navigate to 'https://example.com'	Browser loads the example.com homepage	-	PASS
4	Get current URL from browser	Current URL is 'https://example.com'	Verify current URL equals 'https://example.com'	PASS
5	Close the browser using driver.quit()	Browser window closes and WebDriver session ends	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: EdgeDriver fails to start with the given EdgeOptions or navigation URL is incorrect

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the argument '--start-maximized' do in EdgeOptions?

A It sets the browser to headless mode

B It disables browser notifications

C It opens the browser window maximized

D It clears browser cookies on start

Key Result

Always configure browser options explicitly to control browser behavior during tests, and ensure proper cleanup by closing the browser after tests to avoid resource leaks.
