Selenium automation testing is a powerful approach used to validate web applications by simulating real user behaviour. In Selenium automation testing, the Actions class is a built-in API designed to handle advanced user interactions that go beyond basic click() and sendKeys() methods. It is commonly used to simulate real-world mouse and keyboard actions such as hovering, drag-and-drop, right-clicks, and keyboard shortcuts.
Part of the org.openqa.selenium.interactions package, the class follows the builder pattern, allowing multiple actions to be chained into a single sequence. These actions are executed using the perform() method, which internally builds and runs the composite action. The Actions class is essential for testing dynamic and interactive web elements accurately.
