Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "If an item fails, then it will have an [error] entry."

A block of code is set as follows:

@Test
public void shouldCheckButtonOnChapter2Page(){
selenium.get("http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk");
selenium.findElement(By.linkText("Chapter2")).click();
Assert.assertEquals(selenium.findElements(By.id("but1")).size(), 1);
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

adb -s <serialId> forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

db shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Click Build & Go! iWebDriver will be installed on the device."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
