ExpectedConditions static methods

new WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(
ExpectedConditions.titleIs("HTML Form Elements"));
Custom ExpectedCondition
new WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(
optionWithValueDisplayed(By.id("combo2"),"Java") );
private ExpectedCondition<WebElement>
optionWithValueDisplayed(
final String value) {
return new ExpectedCondition<WebElement>() {
};
@Override
public WebElement apply(WebDriver webDriver) {
return webDriver.findElement(
By.cssSelector("option[value='" + value + "']") );

SlowLoadableCompnent
Public interface
get()
loads and waits for component to be available
extends SlowLoadableComponent<PageObjectClassName>
Call super constructor in constructor

public PageObjectClassName(WebDriver driver) {
super(new SystemClock(), 10);
this.driver = driver;
}
Implement load and isLoaded
isLoaded throws a new Error if not loaded
I often leave the 'load' part empty if I navigate to the page
Hamcrest Matchers & JUnit

@Test
e.g. assertThat(driver.getTitle(), is(not(bob));
is
not
