Selenium Webdriver automation task

This project aims to demostrate the use of Selenium webdriver to handle a typical test work flow through an e-commerce website. The project leverages Maven, JUnit and Cucumber in order to develop a hybrid automation framework whilst adopting a POM approach.

This automation frame work aims to satisfy the following business case:

Business case - "A user should be able to successfully search for and add a product to the shopping cart"

Limitations and issues

This is a first attempt at creating an automation framework in Java and using the tools listed below. The login test requires a manual first step to solve a CAPTCHA. Ebay detects webdriver instances and fires the CAPTCHA. Unfortunately selenium is not designed to solve them.
