Handling the radio button and
checkbox using selenium
Handling Radio Button
Test Case Flow:
- Launch Chrome via WebDriver.
- Navigate to https://example.com/preferences.
- Locate the radio button using XPath //input[@type=’radio’ and @value=’male’].
- Check if it is displayed, enabled, and not already selected
- Select the radio button if it isn’t already
- Verify the radio button is now selected
- Close the browser.
Program:
filename.js
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class RadioButtonExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// 1. Point to your ChromeDriver executable
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
// 2. Launch Chrome
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
try {
// 3. Navigate to the page containing your radio buttons
driver.get("https://example.com/preferences");
// 4. Locate the desired radio button using an XPath locator
// (adjust the XPath to match your page)
WebElement maleRadio = driver.findElement(
By.xpath("//input[@type='radio' and @value='male']"));
// 5. Check if it is displayed, enabled, and not already selected
System.out.println("Radio displayed? " + maleRadio.isDisplayed());
System.out.println("Radio enabled? " + maleRadio.isEnabled());
System.out.println("Initially selected? " + maleRadio.isSelected());
// 6. Select the radio button if it isn’t already
if (maleRadio.isDisplayed() && maleRadio.isEnabled() && !maleRadio.isSelected()) {
maleRadio.click();
// (demo pause)
Thread.sleep(2000);
// 7. Verify the radio button is now selected
System.out.println("After click, selected? " + maleRadio.isSelected());
}
} finally {
// 8. Close the browser (ends the session)
driver.quit();
}
}
}Handling Checkbox
Test Case Flow:
- Launch Chrome via WebDriver.
- Navigate to https://example.com/preferences.
- Locate the checkbox using an XPath locator
- Check if the checkbox is displayed, enabled, and its current state
- Select the checkbox if it isn’t already checked
- Verify the checkbox is now selected
- Uncheck it again
- Close the browser.
Program:
filename.js
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class CheckboxExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// 1. Point to your ChromeDriver executable
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
// 2. Launch Chrome
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
try {
// 3. Navigate to the page containing your checkbox
driver.get("https://example.com/terms");
// 4. Locate the checkbox using an XPath locator
// (adjust the XPath to match your page)
WebElement agreeCheckbox = driver.findElement(
By.xpath("//input[@type='checkbox' and @id='agreeTerms']"));
// 5. Check if the checkbox is displayed, enabled, and its current state
System.out.println("Checkbox displayed? " + agreeCheckbox.isDisplayed());
System.out.println("Checkbox enabled? " + agreeCheckbox.isEnabled());
System.out.println("Initially selected? " + agreeCheckbox.isSelected());
// 6. Select the checkbox if it isn’t already checked
if (agreeCheckbox.isDisplayed()
&& agreeCheckbox.isEnabled()
&& !agreeCheckbox.isSelected()) {
agreeCheckbox.click();
// (demo pause so you can see it happen)
Thread.sleep(2000);
// 7. Verify the checkbox is now selected
System.out.println("After click, selected? " + agreeCheckbox.isSelected());
}
// 8. (Optional) Uncheck it again
if (agreeCheckbox.isSelected()) {
agreeCheckbox.click();
Thread.sleep(1000);
System.out.println("After uncheck, selected? " + agreeCheckbox.isSelected());
}
} finally {
// 9. Close the browser (ends the session)
driver.quit();
}
}
}
