3. Create a Test Plan for Amazon.com like E-Commerce Website

Let's create a Test Plan for the functionalities which we are going to automate. You can create positive and negative test cases around the following scenarios. We will be using this dummy Online shopping website for this Project Assignment - http://automationpractice.com/index.php. This website works exactly similar to any real e-commerce website like Amazon or Flipkart.

4. Automate the 'User Registration and Login' of Amazon like an e-commerce website

This section is focused on covering all the scenarios for User Registration for an e-commerce website. In this assignment, you will learn the different Selenium commands which are used to handle the web form. A web form is generally a collection of web elements like text boxes, radio buttons, selection boxes, etc. And in web testing, we mostly face web forms and 90% of testing revolves around web forms. We are going to cover both positive and negative scenarios for User Registration.

Positive Scenario

1. Test Case - Automate the User Registration process of an e-commerce website.

Steps to Automate:

1. Open this URL  http://automationpractice.com/index.php

2. Click on the sign-in link.

3. Enter your email address in the 'Create and Account' section.

4. Click on Create an Account button.

5. Enter your Personal Information, Address, and Contact info.

6. Click on the Register button.

7. Validate that the user is created.
