• There was requirement where I needed to implement test cases a way when one test case finished executing it closed all open browser before it start executing new test case.
• Implemented skip test cases using the Run mode to run only selected test cases from all test cases.
• To report the failure of test cases at any point of time during the execution used the assertion (try catch) with the Listener which helps to collect the errors in kind of the basket and report it in the end of execution this way I have prevented stopping the execution when there is an error.
• Captured the screenshot of the error to be report it into the report.
• Certain portion of the project involved uploading/downloading files where I used Autoit tool
• To keep the track of what happened at which point of time while running the test cases used the Log4j API for Logging each and every steps of the execution with the timestamp.
