XPath in Selenium Explained | Absolute vs Relative XPath in Software Testing (Must-Know Skill)

In this video, we step into the core skill of Selenium Automation Testing — XPath.
If you’ve ever wondered how automation testers handle complex web applications where ID, Name, or Class locators fail, this session is your turning point.

Until now, we’ve worked with basic locators. But in real-world software testing projects, elements move, layouts change, and attributes are missing. This is where XPath becomes the true backbone of Selenium automation.

In this classroom-style tutorial, you’ll learn:
What XPath really is (without confusing theory)
How XPath navigates the DOM structure
Why Absolute XPath looks easy but breaks easily
Why Relative XPath is the industry-preferred approach
How real automation frameworks rely on XPath
How Selenium uses XPath internally to locate elements

You’ll also understand why XPath is asked in almost every Selenium interview, and how mastering it gives you the confidence to automate any complex web application.
