What is the difference between Name and Class locators in selenium?

Question

Difference between driver.findElement(By.class) and driver.findElement(By.Name)?

Answer 1

Name and Class are different attributes of an element.

Say I have an element

<button name=“myButton” class=“test myClass” ... />

I can then use By.className(“test”) or By.Name(“myButton”) in the findElement() method to find this button

Have a look at the html at work you’re writing your selenium classes for and see what attributes you can find elements by 👍🏾
