Summary  
This chapter explains how to extract text and attribute values from DOM elements, clear input fields, and synchronize interactions by awaiting promises and using explicit wait conditions.

General domain of usage  
Automated web application testing

**- `getText` method:** The `getText` method is available with almost all kinds of elements which may contain some text. It can be used to get the textual data enclosed within the element;

**- `getAttribute` method:** The `getAttribute` method can be used for retrieving the value of any attribute related to an element;

**- `clear` method:** This method is useful in quickly clearing the value of an input or text field;

Build on top of your previously acquired Manual Testing knowledge and learn Automation Testing using Node.JS and Jest. This course will also introduce you to some additional libraries and tools like Selenium, Axios and Jenkins.

In this section, we will get an introduction to automation testing, both conceptually and practically. The application which we will be working on throughout this course will be briefly explored in order to familiarize ourselves with the work environment, and set the momentum for the rest of the course.

In this section, we will learn what Test Automation Frameworks are, why they are necessary, and how to use them. Most programming languages have Test Automation Frameworks, however, we will be using JavaScript to learn about one of the popular JavaScript Test Automation Framework known as Jest. Most of the concepts explored in this section will be transferable to other programming languages and frameworks.

In this section, we will learn how to perform more complicated tests in an automated manner, by automating the browser. This includes, automating user operations like visiting the website, inputting data into the fields and interacting with elements.

In this section, we will briefly explore some intermediate Automation Testing concepts like API testing using Jest and Axios, and setting up a CD/CI pipeline to streamline the whole testing process.
