We can give frame name, id, index and WebElement locator for identification

Syntax:-

driver.switchTo().frames(); // Switch to window to frame

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();  // Switch to Frame to window

If we know the total number of frames on the web page, then we can use “ index”. Index values help to easily switch between frames. An index will start from Zero i.e. if a web page has only one frame then its index will be Zero. If we don’t know the number of frames we can use “findElementBytabname()” method

Syntax: -

   try
{
   driver.switchTo().frame(indexnumber);
}
  catch(NoSuchFrameException e)
{
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

We have use try and catch if now frame will not available this throw exception NoSuchFrameException()

Use name as locater to find frame Syntax: -

 try
{
  driver.switchTo().frame(“frameName”);
}
  catch(NoSuchFrameException e)
{
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

Use WebElement for switching frame

Syntax: -

  try
{
  WebElement button=driver.findElement(By.xpath(""));
  driver.switchTo().frame(button);
}
  catch (NoSuchFrameException e)
{
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
