Part :8 My Automation Interview Questions in one of leading MNC

There is a scenario where unexpected pop-ups might appear during the execution of your test. How do you handle such pop-ups in your automation script?

Explanation:

Unexpected pop-ups during test execution are additional browser windows or dialog boxes that appear unexpectedly and can disrupt the flow of the automation script.

Handling such pop-ups in the automation script involves strategies to detect their presence and appropriately handle them to ensure test stability.

Use Case:

In our project, we had a scenario where an unexpected authentication pop-up might appear while navigating through the application.

To handle this, I implemented a method that checks for the presence of the pop-up and provides credentials if needed before continuing with the test.

Code Snippet:

// Custom method to handle unexpected pop-ups

public void handleUnexpectedPopUp(String username, String password)
{ try {
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
**// If an alert is present, it's an unexpected pop-up**
alert.sendKeys(username + Keys.TAB + password);
alert.accept();
** // Log or handle as needed**
} catch (NoAlertPresentException e) {
**// No alert is present, continue with the test**
}}
**// Example usage in a test**
handleUnexpectedPopUp("yourUsername", "yourPassword");

This code snippet demonstrates a custom method (handleUnexpectedPopUp) that checks for the presence of an unexpected pop-up and provides credentials if needed.

The method uses driver.switchTo().alert() to switch to the alert context and interact with the pop-up.

Exception:

An exception that might occur is NoAlertPresentException if there is no alert present. Handling this exception is crucial to differentiate between scenarios with and without unexpected pop-ups.

Challenges:

One challenge was identifying the conditions triggering unexpected pop-ups. To address this, I worked closely with the development and testing teams to understand the scenarios leading to pop-ups and implemented targeted checks in the automation script.

Another challenge was ensuring that the automation script could handle various types of pop-ups, such as authentication, confirmation, or input dialogs.

To overcome this, I designed a flexible and extensible pop-up handling mechanism that could be adapted to different types of unexpected pop-ups based on their characteristics.
