2. Control Flow & Looping Structures in Test Automation

Conditional Decision Making in Tests

int statusCode = 200;
if (statusCode == 200) {
    System.out.println("API Success");
} else if (statusCode == 404) {
    System.out.println("Endpoint Not Found");
} else {
    System.out.println("Unhandled error code: " + statusCode);
}

Retry Loops & Iterations

// While loop retry pattern:
int attempts = 0;
boolean isElementReady = false;
while (attempts < 3 && !isElementReady) {
    attempts++;
    // poll element state
}
