Hovers

What you'll learn

In this video, you’ll discover how to automate hover interactions on web pages. Many elements only appear when hovered over, which often causes traditional automation tools to fail. With Leapwork, you’ll see how to simulate real mouse-over actions, capture dynamically revealed content, and validate visibility, all in one smooth flow.

Note: To build the same automation flows demonstrated in the video, use this test website
👉https://the-internet.herokuapp.com. It includes all the sample test cases you need to practice and create your own automation in Leapwork.

Key lessons

  • How to use the Hover Web Element block to simulate mouse-over actions.
