Task Instructions

Task 1: Cucumber FixMe

• The test with the tag @FixMe used to work but has broken. Fix this test so it runs.
• Remove the @FixMe tag once the test is fixed.
• Change the test so the search term is a parameter in the Gherkin scenario.

Task 2: Write a New Test

• Create a new test that takes the following steps:
  1. Go to Google UK.
  2. Type in the search term "BBC".
  3. Click on "I’m Feeling Lucky".
  4. Verify that the browser has been redirected to a URL containing the search term.
• Ensure this is written with behavioral steps, rather than procedural steps as listed above.

Task 3: Refactor Test Code

• Improve both tests by creating a Page Object for the Google Homepage.
• Wrap up the wait and Selenium logic into reusable methods.
• Tag both tests to assign the test a “Smoke” test.
