Project Architecture and Design

This framework strictly adheres to the Page Object Model (POM) design pattern to ensure clean separation of concerns, high maintainability, and code reusability:

• Pages Directory (src/main/java/Pages): Encapsulates the WebElements, locators, and UI actions for each individual webpage (e.g., HomePage, LoginPage, ProductPage).
• Tests Directory (src/test/java/PagesForTest): Contains the functional TestNG verification classes and execution logic where assertions are performed.
• Base Configuration (src/test/java/Base): Houses the BaseClass responsible for WebDriver initialization, global browser configurations, and setup/teardown hooks (@BeforeClass, @AfterClass).

Key Automated Test Scenarios

• User Registration, Account Creation, and Authentication workflows.
• Product Search, filtering, and catalog navigation validation.
• Shopping Cart Management (Adding items, removing items, and verifying real-time quantity or price updates).
• Checkout progression and end-to-end purchasing pipelines.
