You can use the Actions class for performing mouseover action in Selenium, with the help of moveToElement() method, as shown in the code below.

Example

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Action;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class MouseOver{
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\lambdatestPC\\Desktop\\Java\\chromedriver.exe");
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
      String url = "https://www.lambdatest.com";
      driver.get(url);
      driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(12, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

      // Instantiating Actions class in Selenium 
      Actions a = new Actions(driver);
     // Performing mouseover action using moveToElement() method
      a.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath(“input[@type=’text’]))).

      build().perform();

      driver.quit();
   }
}
