04 - XPath starts-with(), AND Operator & Wildcard (*) | Selenium & Playwright
Welcome to the fourth video of the XPath tutorial series!
In this video, we'll explore three powerful XPath techniques that help create more reliable and flexible locators for automation testing. You'll learn how to use the `starts-with()` function to handle dynamic attribute values, combine multiple conditions using the `and` operator, and use the wildcard (`*`) to locate elements when the HTML tag is unknown or not important.
These techniques are commonly used in real-world Selenium and Playwright automation projects to build stable and maintainable XPath expressions.
Practice all the examples using the dedicated XPath learning website:
