--------------------------------------------------
Focus on:
 
> Test Automation Life Cycle.

> Verify Web Elements(Objects) using Firebug and Firepath Plug ins in Mozilla Firefox browser, if it IE or Google Chrome use built-in developer tools(Shortcut key F12).

> Create Test Cases using Element locators and Selenium WebDriver Methods.

> Enhance Test cases using Java Programming and JUnit / TestNG Annotations.
