Pagination can be handled in multiple ways using Selenium and the steps to implement one of the widely used techniques in a professional framework is as mentioned below:

  • Step-1: Wait for the page to load properly.
  • Step-2: Scroll to the "Next" button.
  • Step-3: Wait till the page loads completely.
  • Step-4: Use a loop and boolean flags to handle changing values.

Additionally, it is assumed that the element is clickable.
