In real projects, I rely on XPath to handle dynamic DOMs, hidden elements, and inconsistent attributes, an approach shaped by reviewing enterprise-level test suites. Rather than using fragile absolute paths, practical XPath focuses on stability, readability, and resilience. I commonly use contains() for dynamic IDs, text-based selectors for links and labels, indexed handling for repeating elements, DOM traversal for related nodes, partial class matching for UI frameworks, and combined attributes for precision. In Online Selenium training environments, XPath becomes essential when CSS selectors fail due to frequent UI changes, helping reduce flaky tests and long-term CI maintenance, an approach consistently reinforced through real-world practices at H2K Infosys.
