Feature<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Do you know what Xpath can do?<br \/>\nXpath is an important feature that lets one select an HTML element&#8217;s value and can use Xpath to point to a component. Once you get used to its syntax and building experience, accessing most of the HTML assets is effortless and allows you to run more elaborate tests. Using Xpath, you can easily reach almost all aspects of an HTML page programmatically. First, get familiar with Xpath syntax and its capabilities; then, you can build more efficient testing plans when you know what to do.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Powerful_Selenium_Command\"><\/span><strong>Powerful Selenium Command<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many commands can be used in Selenium IDE.<br \/>\nTo give you all a sample,<strong> OPEN, CLICK, PAUSE, TYPE,<\/strong> etc., remembering them is unbelievable.

Therefore, reviewing each browser&#8217;s place in the market is easy to find the plugin that suits your needs. Also, the exciting fact is that it is easy to make other plugins communicate with the IDE via WebExtension. It is an essential and striking feature that many testing plugins will only allow this method .
