your Selenium automation will break again and again.
That’s why XPath Functions exist.

✅ What you’ll learn:
Why XPath functions are needed in dynamic web applications
How text() locates elements using visible text
How contains() handles changing messages and partial matches
How starts-with() works with dynamic prefixes and auto-generated values
Real-time automation use cases for error messages and validations
Best practices followed in professional automation frameworks
