driver.findElement(By.id(//[@id='kishr']));

What is By above?

Is this class ,reference or object ?

CodePudding user response：

By is an abstract class

and

id is a static method, so is linkText, partialLinkText, name, tagName, xpath, className, cssSelector in By abstract class.

Since it's a class level methods, you don't really need an object to call these methods.

By.id or By.xpath etc. should suffice.
