Interface WebDrone

All Known Implementing Classes:

WebDroneImpl

public interface WebDrone

WebDrone represents an unmanned web browser used for testing Alfresco Share.

Key methods are findAndWaitById(String), which is used to find elements on the page using the id as an identifier.

The other various methods similar to findAndWait(By) are also used to find elements of the page.

The executeJavaScript(String) is an added functionality to manage JavaScript encountered on the page. The primary use of the method is to inject a script to yield a user based behaviour.
