Tips and Tricks

Use expression while declaring controls. For example, with the below line using (=>), whenever you access the control, every time it tries to retry and find element without storing into a field. This will help to avoid the StaleException and always make sure the element is available in the page.

private WebControl _panelContainer => new WebControl(_driver, By.CssSelector("div.panelContainer"));

Use WaitAndClick(int timeToWaitInSeconds), when you have elements visible but due to some animation on the responsive page, fails to make the click operation. Use wait and click and pass 1 or 2 seconds for wait, to complete the animation and proceed with the click operation.
