Practice Yourself :
package dayOne;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class WebElementsCommands {
public static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://www.toolsqa.com/Automation-practice-form/");
driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Partial Link Test")).click();
System.out.println("Link Test Pass");
String sClass = driver.findElements(By.tagName("button")).toString();
System.out.println(sClass);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Link Test")).click();
