Your first Selenium script

Everything so far — Java, the terminal, locators — converges here. Selenium's WebDriver is an object (OOP lesson!) whose methods drive a real browser. Modern Selenium handles the browser driver automatically via Selenium Manager, so there's nothing to download: if Chrome is installed, this just runs.

Add this class to your starter project at src/test/java/FirstSeleniumTest.java:

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;

public class FirstSeleniumTest {

    @Test
    void loginPageLoads() {
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();      // opens a real Chrome window

        driver.get("https://www.saucedemo.com");    // navigate

        String title = driver.getTitle();            // read state from the browser
        System.out.println("Page title is: " + title);

        assertEquals("Swag Labs", title);            // the assertion — expected vs actual

        driver.quit();                               // ALWAYS close the browser
    }
}

Run it with the green arrow, or from PowerShell:

mvn test -Dtest=FirstSeleniumTest

[INFO] Running FirstSeleniumTest
Page title is: Swag Labs
[INFO] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS

A Chrome window flashed open, loaded the page, and closed. That flash was your code driving a browser. Read the test again top to bottom — it's your manual TC-001, line for line: navigate, observe, compare to expected.

The two lines that matter most

new ChromeDriver() starts a browser session; driver.quit() ends it. Forget quit() and you leak browser processes — run a suite of 50 tests that way and your machine crawls. (Suite 05's @AfterEach will guarantee it runs even when tests fail.)
