In the fourth chapter of this book, you will learn how to identify web elements in a web application by using effective element locators. After reviewing the basic concepts and the structure of the Document Object Model (DOM), we will illustrate how to locate elements within other elements. Finally, we will introduce you to different search techniques that can be useful when building complex element locators.

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

• Navigate through the DOM to find elements
• Search for elements that are nested within existing ones
• Create complex locators to find elements that are difficult to reach
