This paper has presented a general automated testing approach for detecting XPath-related logic bugs in XML processors. 

Presenting A General Automated Testing Approach for Detecting XPath-Related Logic Bugs

Various approaches to benchmarking XPath implementations or test suites for them have been proposed

Finding XPath Bugs in XML Document Processors: Testing XPath Functionality and Other Related Work

We considered the only two—to the best of our knowledge—approaches to generate XPath expressions. 

Finding XPath Bugs in XML Document Processors: Existing-Generator Baselines and More

In the evaluation, we sought to investigate whether our technique is effective and efficient in finding bugs for XPath expression processors.

Is Our Technique Effective in Finding Bugs for XPath Expression Processors? An Investigation

In this section, we introduce how we generate XPath queries. We encountered two main challenges that we had to tackle when generating XPath expressions.

XPath Expression Generation: How We Generated XPath Queries

As shown, for the query on the document, BaseX returned an empty result, while both Saxon and eXist returned all three Book nodes.

XML, XPath, XPath Structure, and More Explained

We implemented and evaluated our approach on six widelyused XML process systems, which successfully found 27 previously-unknown unique bugs.

via Differential Testing

Identifying element has always been the trickiest part and therefore require an accurate and correct approach. If you are unable to find elements by the easily available approaches like ID, class, name, link or tagname then XPath in Selenium can help rescue you. Locating dynamic elements have always been the pain area while you wish to automate the scripts, the only ray of hope to deal with such fiascos is XPath. In my current article, I will be digging into the steps of locating an element via XPath example in Selenium and its various ways.

Groundbreaking Tips On How To Use XPath In Selenium 

We analyzed all historical BaseX bug reports in its GitHub bug tracker.

An Analysis of BaseX Historical Bug Reports

We are aware of only one automated testing approach that has been proposed to test XML processors

Index Support in BaseX, eXist-DB, Saxon, and libxml2: Explained

In this section, we show XPress’ effectiveness through the number of bugs found, developer feedback, and illustrative examples.

In this section, we outline how we generate XML documents (step 1), which we do not consider part of our core contribution.

How We Generated XML Documents: Tree Creation and Node Generation

Differential testing enables us to find both logic bugs as well as internal errors when comparing the results of XML processors implementing the same XPath stan

The Approach and Differential Testing for XML Processors

In this guide, you will learn how to interact with sliders in Playwright. Find the slider element on a page. Detect its current value to be able to click on it.

In the context of web scraping, <a href="https://blog.scrapinghub.com/2016/10/27/an-introduction-to-xpath-with-examples/" target="_blank">XPath</a> is a nice tool to have in your belt, as it allows you to write specifications of document locations more flexibly than CSS selectors. In case you’re looking for a tutorial, <a href="http://www.zvon.org/comp/r/tut-XPath_1.html" target="_blank">here is a XPath tutorial with nice examples</a>.
