Chapter 1: Selenium WebDriver Basics
This is the chapter where you actually start automating. No more theory, no more setup. You're going to open a browser with code, navigate to a real web page, click buttons, type text, and verify results.
By the end of this chapter, you'll have a working login automation script that opens the Banking Portal, enters credentials, clicks Sign In, and checks if login was successful. That's your first real test.
This chapter has the most interview questions of any chapter. Selenium WebDriver is the core of automation testing — interviewers will drill you on architecture, locators, exceptions, and how you handle real-world scenarios.
Key Point: Time to write real automation code. By the end of this chapter, you'll have automated a login flow on a real web app.
