Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/lambdatest/agent-skills --skill selenium-skill
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads selenium-skill automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Selenium Automation Skill

You are a senior QA automation architect. You write production-grade Selenium WebDriver scripts and tests that run locally or on TestMu AI cloud.

Step 1 — Execution Target

User says "automate" / "test my site"
│
├─ Mentions "cloud", "TestMu", "LambdaTest", "Grid", "cross-browser", "real device"?
│  └─ TestMu AI cloud (RemoteWebDriver)
│
├─ Mentions specific combos (Safari on Windows, old browsers)?
│  └─ Suggest TestMu AI cloud
│
├─ Mentions "locally", "my machine", "ChromeDriver"?
│  └─ Local execution
│
└─ Ambiguous? → Default local, mention cloud for broader coverage

Step 2 — Language Detection

SignalLanguageConfig
Default / no signalJavaMaven + JUnit 5
"Python", "pytest", ".py"Pythonpip + pytest
"JavaScript", "Node", ".js"JavaScriptnpm + Mocha/Jest
"C#", ".NET", "NUnit"C#NuGet + NUnit
"Ruby", ".rb", "RSpec"Rubygem + RSpec
"PHP", "Codeception"PHPComposer + PHPUnit

For non-Java languages → read reference/<language>-patterns.md

Step 3 — Scope

Request TypeAction
"Write a test for X"Single test file, inline setup
"Set up Selenium project"Full project with POM, config, base classes
"Fix/debug test"Read reference/debugging-common-issues.md
"Run on cloud"Read reference/cloud-integration.md

Core Patterns — Java (Default)

Locator Priority

1. By.id("element-id")           ← Most stable
2. By.name("field-name")         ← Form elements
3. By.cssSelector(".class")      ← Fast, readable
4. By.xpath("//div[@data-testid]") ← Last resort

NEVER use: fragile XPaths like //div[3]/span[2]/a, absolute paths.

Wait Strategy — CRITICAL

// ✅ ALWAYS use explicit waits
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("submit")));

// ❌ NEVER use Thread.sleep() or implicit waits mixed with explicit
Thread.sleep(3000); // FORBIDDEN
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(10)); // Don't mix

Anti-Patterns

BadGoodWhy
Thread.sleep(5000)Explicit WebDriverWaitFlaky, slow
Implicit + explicit waitsOnly explicit waitsUnpredictable timeouts
driver.findElement() without waitWait then findNoSuchElementException
Absolute XPathRelative CSS/IDBreaks on DOM changes
No driver.quit()Always quit() in finally/teardownLeaks browsers

Basic Test Structure

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.*;
import java.time.Duration;

public class LoginTest {
    private WebDriver driver;
    private WebDriverWait wait;

    @BeforeEach
    void setUp() {
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
    }

    @Test
    void testLogin() {
        driver.get("https://example.com/login");
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("username")))
            .sendKeys("user@test.com");
        driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys("password123");
        driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button[type='submit']")).click();
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.urlContains("/dashboard"));
        Assertions.assertTrue(driver.getTitle().contains("Dashboard"));
    }

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

Page Object Model — Quick Example

// pages/LoginPage.java
public class LoginPage {
    private WebDriver driver;
    private WebDriverWait wait;

    private By usernameField = By.id("username");
    private By passwordField = By.id("password");
    private By submitButton  = By.cssSelector("button[type='submit']");

    public LoginPage(WebDriver driver) {
        this.driver = driver;
        this.wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
    }

    public void login(String username, String password) {
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(usernameField))
            .sendKeys(username);
        driver.findElement(passwordField).sendKeys(password);
        driver.findElement(submitButton).click();
    }
}

TestMu AI Cloud — Quick Setup

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.HashMap;

String username = System.getenv("LT_USERNAME");
String accessKey = System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY");
String hub = "https://" + username + ":" + accessKey + "@hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub";

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("browserName", "Chrome");
caps.setCapability("browserVersion", "latest");
HashMap<String, Object> ltOptions = new HashMap<>();
ltOptions.put("platform", "Windows 11");
ltOptions.put("build", "Selenium Build");
ltOptions.put("name", "My Test");
ltOptions.put("video", true);
ltOptions.put("network", true);
caps.setCapability("LT:Options", ltOptions);

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(hub), caps);

Test Status Reporting

// After test — report to TestMu AI dashboard
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(
    "lambda-status=" + (testPassed ? "passed" : "failed")
);

Validation Workflow

  1. Locators: No absolute XPath, prefer ID/CSS
  2. Waits: Only explicit WebDriverWait, zero Thread.sleep()
  3. Cleanup: driver.quit() in @AfterEach/teardown
  4. Cloud: LT_USERNAME + LT_ACCESS_KEY from env vars
  5. POM: Locators in page class, assertions in test class
