📜SCROLL_TYPE

Definition of SCROLL_TYPE

SCROLL_TYPE specifies how an automated test should scroll the page to ensure that a web element is within the desired view before interaction. Each type targets a different scrolling behavior:

SCROLL_TO_ELEMENT_CENTER

• Definition: Scrolls the page until the specified element is at the center of the viewport.

• Use Case: Use this when an element needs to be centered for visibility or for actions that require the element to be in the middle of the screen, such as taking screenshots or ensuring visibility for complex interactions.

SCROLL_TO_BOTTOM

• Definition: Scrolls the page all the way to the bottom.

• Use Case: Essential when you need to interact with elements that are located at the bottom of the page or to ensure that lazy-loaded elements are triggered and loaded.

SCROLL_TO_TOP

• Definition: Scrolls the page to the top.

• Use Case: Useful for resetting the view to the top of the page before beginning a sequence of actions, or when top navigation elements need to be accessed.

NONE

• Definition: Indicates that no scrolling action should be taken.

• Use Case: Selected when the desired element is already in view, or when scrolling is managed by other means within the test.

Choosing the Right SCROLL_TYPE

• The correct SCROLL_TYPE ensures that web elements are interacted with as a user would naturally do.

• It can prevent issues such as attempting to click an element that is not in view, which would result in a failed test.
