How can I check broken links on webpage using Selenium Webdriver java

Question

Requires code in java that will catch all anchor tags from page, store them & check broken or not

Answer 1

 

First you can find appropriate link. Identify an element and get attribute href.

Then:

We can use HttpURLConnection Class and getResponseCode method for finding the reponse code of the URL.

public static int getResponseCode(String urlString) throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
     URL u = new URL(urlString);
     HttpURLConnection huc =  (HttpURLConnection)  u.openConnection();
     huc.setRequestMethod("GET");
     huc.connect();
     return huc.getResponseCode();
 }
