Writing code...

Adding Task: Create a new Maven project.

Executing: "Create a new Maven project.": To create a new Maven project, follow the steps below:

1. Open your preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

2. Click on "File" in the menu bar and select "New Project".
3. In the project creation wizard, select "Maven" as the project type.
4. Choose a suitable project template or leave it as default.
5. Enter a Group Id and Artifact Id for your project. These are unique identifiers for your project.
6. Choose a version for your project or leave it as default.
7. Select a location on your machine where you want to create the project.
8. Click on "Finish" to create the project.

Once the project is created, you can proceed with the next steps mentioned in the requirements.

Starting task: Add Selenium and TestNG dependencies to the project.

Writing code...

Executing: "Add Selenium and TestNG dependencies to the project.": To add Selenium and TestNG dependencies
to the project, you need to modify the pom.xml file in the Maven project.

1. Open the pom.xml file in the project.

2. Inside the `<dependencies>` section, add the following dependencies:

```xml
<!-- Selenium -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
<version>3.141.59</version>
</dependency>

<!-- TestNG -->

<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
<version>7.2.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
```

3. Save the pom.xml file.

Maven will automatically download the required dependencies and add them to the project. You can now use
Selenium and TestNG in your Java code.

Note: Make sure you have Maven installed and configured properly in your system.

Adding Task: Add Selenium and TestNG dependencies to the project.

Adding Task: Create a new Java class called "UserTest" in the src/test/java directory.
Add a Test method to the UserTest class to define the test.
In the test method, create a new account using the SeleniumHelper class.
Log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.
Verify that the user is able to successfully log in using Selenium.

Starting task: Create a new Java class called "SeleniumHelper" in the src/test/java directory.

Writing code...

Adding Task: Create a new Java class called "SeleniumHelper" in the src/test/java directory.

Executing: "Create a new Java class called "SeleniumHelper" in the src/test/java directory.": ```java
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;

public class SeleniumHelper {

private WebDriver driver;

@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
// Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");

// Configure ChromeOptions
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless"); // Run Chrome in headless mode

// Create a new instance of ChromeDriver

driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
}

@AfterMethod
public void tearDown() {
// Quit the WebDriver instance
driver.quit();
}

public WebDriver getDriver() {

return driver;
}
}
```

Explanation:
- The `SeleniumHelper` class is responsible for managing the WebDriver instance.
- In the `setUp` method, we set the path to the ChromeDriver executable and configure ChromeOptions.
- We create a new instance of ChromeDriver with the specified options.
- In the `tearDown` method, we quit the WebDriver instance to ensure proper cleanup.
- The `getDriver` method returns the WebDriver instance so that it can be used in other test classes.

Next, I will create a new Java class called "BookTest" in the `src/test/java` directory.

Adding Task: Create a new Test method in the BookTest class to define the test for the "LendBook" scenario.

Starting task: Add a "@BeforeMethod" annotation to the SeleniumHelper class to create a new WebDriver instance
before each test method.

Writing code...

Adding Task: Add a "@BeforeMethod" annotation to the SeleniumHelper class to create a new WebDriver instance
before each test method.

Executing: "Add a "@BeforeMethod" annotation to the SeleniumHelper class to create a new WebDriver instance
before each test method.": To add the `@BeforeMethod` annotation to the SeleniumHelper class, follow these steps:
1. Open the SeleniumHelper.java file in your project's src/test/java directory.
2. Import the necessary packages for the annotations:

```java
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
```

3. Add the `@BeforeMethod` annotation above the method declaration:

```java
@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
// Create a new WebDriver instance here
// This method will be executed before each test method
}
```

4. Inside the `setUp()` method, create a new WebDriver instance.

You can use any WebDriver implementation depending on your requirements, such as ChromeDriver or Firefo-
xDriver.

Here's an example using ChromeDriver:

```java
@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Set up any desired configurations for the driver here
}
```

5. Make sure to handle any exceptions that may be thrown during the creation of the WebDriver instance.

With this setup, the `setUp()` method will be executed before each test method in the BookTest class, creating a
new WebDriver instance for each test.

Starting task: Add an "@AfterMethod" annotation to the SeleniumHelper class to close the WebDriver instance after
each test method.

Writing code...

Executing: "Add an "@AfterMethod" annotation to the SeleniumHelper class to close the WebDriver instance after
each test method.": To add the `@AfterMethod` annotation to the `SeleniumHelper` class in order to close the
WebDriver instance after each test method, we can do the following:

```java
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;

public class SeleniumHelper {

// other code

@AfterMethod
public void tearDown() {
// Close the WebDriver instance here
driver.quit();
}
}
```

In the code above, we add the `@AfterMethod` annotation to the `tearDown()` method. This method will be executed
after each test method in the test class where the `SeleniumHelper` is used. Inside the `tearDown()` method, we
can close the WebDriver instance by calling the `quit()` method.

Adding Task: Add an "@AfterMethod" annotation to the SeleniumHelper class to close the WebDriver instance after
each test method.

Adding Task: Create a new test method in the BookTest class to define the test for the "LendBook" scenario.

Starting task: Create a new Java class called "BookTest" in the src/test/java directory.

```

In the above code, I have created a Java class called "BookTest" in the "src/test/java" directory. This class contains
test methods for different scenarios related to books in the test application.

The `setUp` method is annotated with `@BeforeMethod` and is responsible for setting up the WebDriver instance.
It sets the path to the chromedriver executable and creates a new instance of the Chrome driver. It also maximizes
the browser window.

The `tearDown` method is annotated with `@AfterMethod` and is responsible for closing the WebDriver instance and
quitting the browser.

The test methods are annotated with `@Test` and each method represents a specific test scenario.

The `lendBookTest` method logs in to the application, creates a new book, accesses the book, lends the book to a
user, and verifies that the book can be lended successfully.

The `createEmptyBookTest` method logs in to the application, goes to the "Books" section, tries to create a book
without filling in all the required fields, and verifies that the book cannot be created.

The `deleteBookTest` method logs in to the application, creates a new book, deletes the book, and verifies that the
book can be deleted successfully.

The `editBookTest` method creates a new user using an API call, logs in to the application, creates a new author,
creates a new book, edits the book title, saves the changes, and verifies that the update is present in the application.

The helper methods `login`, `createBook`, and `createAuthor` are used to perform common actions such as logging
in, creating a book, and creating an author, respectively.
Note: Make sure to replace "path_to_chromedriver" with the actual path to the chromedriver executable in your
system.

Adding Task: Create a new Java class called "BookTest" in the src/test/java directory.

Starting task: Add a Test method to the BookTest class to define the test.

Writing code...

Executing: "Add a Test method to the BookTest class to define the test.": ```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest {

private WebDriver driver;

}

private void editBook() {

// Add code to edit the book
}

private void verifyBookUpdate() {

// Add code to verify that the book update is present in the application
}
}
```

In the above code, I have defined the structure of the `BookTest` class with the required methods for each test case.
The `setUp()` method is annotated with `@BeforeMethod` and is used to set up the WebDriver instance before each
test case. The `tearDown()` method is annotated with `@AfterMethod` and is used to close the WebDriver instance
after each test case.

Each test case is defined as a separate method, annotated with `@Test`. The `lendBookTest()` method is for the
"LendBook" test case, `createEmptyBookTest()` is for the "CreateEmptyBook" test case, `deleteBookTest()` is for
the "DeleteBook" test case, and `editBookTest()` is for the "EditBook" test case.

Within each test case method, I have added placeholder methods for the specific actions that need to be performed.
You can add the actual code to perform those actions within these methods.

Please note that the methods `createBook()`, `accessBookAndLend()`, `verifyBookLending()`, `login()`, `goTo-
Books()`, `createEmptyBook()`, `verifyBookCreationFailure()`, `verifyBookDeletion()`, `editBook()`, and `verif-
yBookUpdate()` are currently empty and need to be implemented with the specific Selenium actions and assertions
required for each test case.

Make sure to replace `"path/to/chromedriver"` in the `setUp()` method with the actual path to the ChromeDriver
executable on your system.

Create a new Test method in the `BookTest` class to define the test for the "LendBook" scenario.

Starting task: In the test method, create a new account using the SeleniumHelper class.

Writing code...

Executing: "In the test method, create a new account using the SeleniumHelper class.": To create a new account
using the SeleniumHelper class, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the test application URL (http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/) using Selenium WebDriver.

2. Click on the "Register" link or button to navigate to the registration page.
3. Generate a random email address and password for the new account.
4. Fill in the registration form with the random email address and password.
5. Submit the form to create the new account.
6. Wait for the registration process to complete.
7. Verify that the new account is created successfully by checking if the user is logged in or by checking for any
success message displayed on the page.
8. Store the newly created account details (email and password) for future use if needed.

Here's an example code snippet to implement the above steps:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

public class SeleniumHelper {

private WebDriver driver;

// Constructor to initialize WebDriver

public SeleniumHelper(WebDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
}

// Method to create a new account

public void createNewAccount() {
// Step 1: Open the test application URL
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Step 2: Click on the "Register" link or button

WebElement registerLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Register"));
registerLink.click();

// Step 3: Generate random email and password for the new account
String email = generateRandomEmail();
 String password = generateRandomPassword();

// Step 4: Fill in the registration form

WebElement emailField = driver.findElement(By.id("email"));
WebElement passwordField = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));
WebElement confirmPasswordField = driver.findElement(By.id("confirmPassword"));

emailField.sendKeys(email);
passwordField.sendKeys(password);
confirmPasswordField.sendKeys(password);

// Step 5: Submit the form

WebElement registerButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Register')]"));
registerButton.click();

// Step 6: Wait for registration process to complete (use appropriate wait mechanism)

// Step 7: Verify account creation success

boolean isLoggedIn = checkIfLoggedIn(); // Implement this method to check if the user is logged in
if (isLoggedIn) {
System.out.println("Account created successfully.");
} else {
System.out.println("Account creation failed.");
}

// Step 8: Store the new account details for future use (if needed)
// You can store the email and password in variables or in a data structure of your choice
}

// Helper method to generate a random email address

private String generateRandomEmail() {
// Implementation to generate random email
// You can use a library like Apache Commons or other random data generation techniques
return "[email protected]";
}

// Helper method to generate a random password

private String generateRandomPassword() {
// Implementation to generate random password
// You can use a library like Apache Commons or other random data generation techniques
return "random_password";
}

// Helper method to check if the user is logged in

private boolean checkIfLoggedIn() {
// Implementation to check if the user is logged in
// You can find an element on the page that indicates the user is logged in
// and return true if the element is found, false otherwise
return false;
}
}
```

To use the `SeleniumHelper` class and create a new account in the test method, you can do the following:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest {

private WebDriver driver;
private SeleniumHelper seleniumHelper;

@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
// Step 1: Set up WebDriver (e.g., ChromeDriver)
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Step 2: Initialize SeleniumHelper with the WebDriver instance

seleniumHelper = new SeleniumHelper(driver);
}

@AfterMethod
public void tearDown() {
// Step 5: Close the WebDriver instance
driver.quit();
}

@Test
public void testCreateNewAccount() {
// Step 6: Create a new account using SeleniumHelper
seleniumHelper.createNewAccount();

// Continue with other test steps (if needed)

}
}
```

Make sure to replace `"/path/to/chromedriver"` with the actual path to your ChromeDriver executable. Additionally,
you may need to import the necessary dependencies and set up the testNG framework to execute the test method
properly.

Adding Task: In the test method, create a new account using the SeleniumHelper class.

Adding Task: Create a new Test method in the `BookTest` class to define the test for the "LendBook" scenario.
Starting task: Log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.

Writing code...

Executing: "Log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.": To log in to the application using the
SeleniumHelper class, we can create a method called "login" in the SeleniumHelper class. In this method, we can
use the WebDriver instance to navigate to the login page of the application and fill in the username and password
fields. We can then submit the login form to log in to the application.

Here's an example implementation of the login method:

```java
public class SeleniumHelper {
private WebDriver driver;

// constructor
public SeleniumHelper(WebDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
}

// method to log in to the application

public void login(String username, String password) {
// navigate to the login page
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/login");

// fill in the username and password fields

WebElement usernameField = driver.findElement(By.id("username"));
WebElement passwordField = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));
WebElement loginButton = driver.findElement(By.id("login_button"));

usernameField.sendKeys(username);
passwordField.sendKeys(password);

// submit the login form

loginButton.click();
}
}
```

To use this login method in the BookTest class, we can create an instance of the SeleniumHelper class and call the
login method with the appropriate username and password.

Here's an example usage of the login method in the BookTest class:

```java
public class BookTest {
private WebDriver driver;
private SeleniumHelper seleniumHelper;
@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
// create a new WebDriver instance
driver = new ChromeDriver();

// create an instance of SeleniumHelper

seleniumHelper = new SeleniumHelper(driver);
}

@Test
public void testLogin() {
// log in to the application
seleniumHelper.login("[email protected]", "parola");

// add assertions or verifications here

}

@AfterMethod
public void tearDown() {
// close the WebDriver instance
driver.quit();
}
}
```

Note: This code assumes that you have the necessary WebDriver setup (e.g., ChromeDriver for Chrome) and the
appropriate dependencies added to your Maven project.

Adding Task: Log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.

Starting task: Create an author using the SeleniumHelper class.

Writing code...

Executing: "Create an author using the SeleniumHelper class.": To create an author using the SeleniumHelper class,
you can follow the steps below:

1. In the SeleniumHelper class, create a new method called "createAuthor".

2. Inside the "createAuthor" method, navigate to the website's homepage.
3. Locate the "Authors" link on the page and click on it.
4. Locate the "Create New Author" button and click on it.
5. Fill in the necessary information for creating an author. You can generate random data for the author's name, email,
and other fields.
6. Submit the form to create the author.
7. Verify that the author is successfully created by checking for the presence of a success message or by searching
for the author in the list of authors.
8. Add any necessary assertions or error handling to handle cases where the author creation fails.

Here is an example of how the "createAuthor" method might look like in the SeleniumHelper class:
```java
public class SeleniumHelper {
private WebDriver driver;

// ...

public void createAuthor() {

// Navigate to homepage
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Click on "Authors" link

WebElement authorsLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Authors"));
authorsLink.click();

// Click on "Create New Author" button

WebElement createAuthorButton = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Create New Author"));
createAuthorButton.click();

// Fill in author information

WebElement nameInput = driver.findElement(By.id("authorName"));
nameInput.sendKeys(generateRandomName());

WebElement emailInput = driver.findElement(By.id("authorEmail"));

emailInput.sendKeys(generateRandomEmail());

// ... Fill in other author fields if necessary

// Submit form
WebElement submitButton = driver.findElement(By.id("createAuthorButton"));
submitButton.click();

// Verify author creation

WebElement successMessage = driver.findElement(By.className("success-message"));
Assert.assertTrue(successMessage.isDisplayed(), "Author creation successful");
}

// ... Other methods and annotations

private String generateRandomName() {

// Generate and return a random name
}

private String generateRandomEmail() {

// Generate and return a random email address
}
}
```
You can then call the "createAuthor" method in your test method in the BookTest class to create an author before
performing other actions or assertions related to the author.

Adding Task: Create an author using the SeleniumHelper class.

Adding Task: Add a new Test method to the UserTest class to define the test.

Starting task: Create a book using the SeleniumHelper class.

Writing code...

Executing: "Create a book using the SeleniumHelper class.": To create a book using the SeleniumHelper class, we
can follow the below steps:

1. Open the application URL in the browser using WebDriver.

2. Login to the application using the provided username and password.
3. Navigate to the "Books" section of the application.
4. Click on the "Create Book" button to open the book creation form.
5. Fill in the necessary details for the book such as title, author, and other fields.
- Bonus: Generate random data for the book details.
6. Click on the "Save" button to create the book.
7. Verify that the book has been created successfully by checking if it appears in the list of books or by searching for
the book using its title or author.

Here is a sample code snippet to create a book using the SeleniumHelper class:

```java
public class BookTest {

// Create a new WebDriver instance before each test method

@BeforeMethod
public void setup() {
SeleniumHelper.initializeWebDriver();
}

// Close the WebDriver instance after each test method

@AfterMethod
public void teardown() {
SeleniumHelper.quitWebDriver();
}

@Test
public void createBookTest() {
// Open the application URL in the browser
SeleniumHelper.openURL("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Login to the application

SeleniumHelper.login("[email protected]", "parola");
 // Navigate to the "Books" section
SeleniumHelper.navigateToBooks();

// Click on the "Create Book" button

SeleniumHelper.clickCreateBook();

// Fill in the book details

String title = generateRandomTitle();
String author = generateRandomAuthor();
SeleniumHelper.fillBookDetails(title, author);

// Click on the "Save" button

SeleniumHelper.saveBook();

// Verify that the book has been created successfully

boolean isBookCreated = SeleniumHelper.isBookCreated(title, author);
Assert.assertTrue(isBookCreated, "Book creation failed");
}

// Helper methods for generating random book details

private String generateRandomTitle() {
// Generate a random title for the book
// Code goes here...
}

private String generateRandomAuthor() {

// Generate a random author for the book
// Code goes here...
}
}
```

In the above code, we use methods from the `SeleniumHelper` class to perform various actions like opening the
URL, logging in, navigating to the "Books" section, filling in the book details, and verifying the book creation. The
helper methods like `generateRandomTitle` and `generateRandomAuthor` can be implemented to generate random
values for the book details if the bonus requirements are to be met.

Adding Task: Create a book using the SeleniumHelper class.

Starting task: Access the created book by clicking its name.

Writing code...

Executing: "Access the created book by clicking its name.": To access the created book by clicking its name, you
can use the Selenium WebDriver in Java to locate the book element and perform a click action.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to access the book by clicking its name:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class BookTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");

// Create a new instance of the ChromeDriver

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Navigate to the test application URL

driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Login to the application

login(driver, "[email protected]", "parola");

// Create a new book

createBook(driver, "Book Title");

// Access the book by clicking its name

accessBook(driver, "Book Title");

// Close the browser

driver.quit();
}

private static void login(WebDriver driver, String username, String password) {

// Locate the username and password fields
WebElement usernameField = driver.findElement(By.id("username"));
WebElement passwordField = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));

// Enter the username and password

usernameField.sendKeys(username);
passwordField.sendKeys(password);

// Click the login button

WebElement loginButton = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button[type='submit']"));
loginButton.click();
}

private static void createBook(WebDriver driver, String title) {

// Go to the Books page
WebElement booksLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Books"));
booksLink.click();

// Locate the add book button and click it

WebElement addBookButton = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button[data-target='#addBookModal']"));
 addBookButton.click();

// Enter the book title

WebElement titleField = driver.findElement(By.id("bookTitle"));
titleField.sendKeys(title);

// Save the book

WebElement saveButton = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#addBookModal button[type='submit']"));
saveButton.click();
}

private static void accessBook(WebDriver driver, String title) {

// Locate the book element by its title
WebElement bookElement = driver.findElement(By.linkText(title));

// Click the book element to access it

bookElement.click();
}
}
```

Make sure to update the `webdriver.chrome.driver` property with the correct path to the ChromeDriver executable on
your machine. You can also modify the `login` and `createBook` methods to include any additional steps or validations
required before accessing the book.

Adding Task: Access the created book by clicking its name.

Adding Task: Add a new Test method to the `UserTest` class to define the test.

Starting task: Lend the book using one of the three users from the dropdown.

Writing code...

Executing: "Lend the book using one of the three users from the dropdown.": To lend the book using one of the three
users from the dropdown, we will need to perform the following steps:

1. Login to the application using the provided username and password.

2. Navigate to the "Books" page.
3. Find the book and click on its name to access the book details.
4. Select one of the three users from the dropdown to lend the book.
5. Click on the "Lend" button to lend the book.

Here is the code to accomplish this:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest {

@Test
public void lendBook() {
// Create and initialize WebDriver
WebDriver driver = SeleniumHelper.getWebDriver();

// Login to the application

login(driver);

// Navigate to the "Books" page

navigateToBooksPage(driver);

// Find the book and click on its name

WebElement bookLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Book Title"));
bookLink.click();

// Select one of the three users from the dropdown

Select userDropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("userDropdown")));
userDropdown.selectByVisibleText("User 1"); // Replace "User 1" with the desired user

// Click on the "Lend" button

WebElement lendButton = driver.findElement(By.id("lendButton"));
lendButton.click();

// Close the WebDriver

driver.quit();
}

private void login(WebDriver driver) {

// Implement the login method using Selenium
}

private void navigateToBooksPage(WebDriver driver) {

// Implement the navigation to the "Books" page using Selenium
}
}
```

You will need to implement the `login` and `navigateToBooksPage` methods according to your application's login and
navigation logic using Selenium.

Note: Make sure to update the book title, user dropdown selector, and lend button selector according to your
application's specific elements.

Adding Task: Lend the book using one of the three users from the dropdown.

Starting task: Verify that the book can be lent using Selenium.
Writing code...

Executing: "Verify that the book can be lent using Selenium.": To verify that the book can be lent using Selenium, we
can follow these steps:

1. Open the web application using Selenium.

2. Login to the application using the provided username and password.
3. Navigate to the Books page.
4. Create a new book by filling in the required fields (title, author, etc.) and submitting the form.
5. Access the book by clicking on its name.
6. Select one of the users from the dropdown (assuming it is a dropdown of available users to lend the book to).
7. Click on the "Lend Book" button or similar action to initiate the lending process.
8. Verify that the book has been successfully lent by checking for any confirmation message or visual indicator on
the page.

Here is a sample code snippet in Java using Selenium WebDriver to accomplish this:

System.out.println("Book lending test passed");
} else {
System.out.println("Book lending test failed");
}

// Close the browser

driver.quit();
}
}
```

Make sure to replace `"/path/to/chromedriver"` with the actual path to the chromedriver executable on your machine.
Additionally, you may need to adjust the locators used in the code to match the structure of the web application.

Adding Task: Verify that the book can be lent using Selenium.

Adding Task: Add a new Test method to the `BookTest` class for the "LendBook" scenario.
Starting task: Add a new Test method to the BookTest class for the "CreateEmptyBook" test.

Writing code...

Executing: "Add a new Test method to the BookTest class for the "CreateEmptyBook" test.": ### Add a new Test
method to the BookTest class for the "CreateEmptyBook" test

To add a new Test method for the "CreateEmptyBook" test, follow these steps:

1. Open the "BookTest" class in the src/test/java directory.

2. Add the @Test annotation above the method to mark it as a test method for TestNG.
3. Define the method with a meaningful name, such as "testCreateEmptyBook".
4. Inside the method, add code to perform the desired test steps.
5. Use Selenium WebDriver to interact with the application and perform the necessary actions.
6. Use assertions to verify the expected results of the test.

Here is an example implementation of the "CreateEmptyBook" test:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest {

// Set up WebDriver instance using SeleniumHelper class

@Test
public void testCreateEmptyBook() {
// Login to the application using Selenium
// (Assuming the login method is implemented in the SeleniumHelper class)
SeleniumHelper.login("[email protected]", "parola");

// Navigate to the "Books" page

SeleniumHelper.navigateToBooksPage();

// Click on the "Create New Book" button

SeleniumHelper.clickCreateNewBookButton();

// Select an author for the book (assuming the author is already created)
SeleniumHelper.selectAuthorForBook("John Doe");

// Click the "Save" button to create the empty book

SeleniumHelper.clickSaveButton();

// Verify that the book cannot be created by checking if the required fields are highlighted in red
WebElement titleField = SeleniumHelper.findElement(By.id("book-title"));
WebElement isbnField = SeleniumHelper.findElement(By.id("book-isbn"));
WebElement publishDateField = SeleniumHelper.findElement(By.id("book-publish-date"));
 // Assert that the required fields are highlighted in red
assert titleField.getAttribute("class").contains("error");
assert isbnField.getAttribute("class").contains("error");
assert publishDateField.getAttribute("class").contains("error");
}
}
```

In this test method, we first login to the application using the provided credentials. Then, we navigate to the "Books"
page and click on the "Create New Book" button. We select an author for the book and click the "Save" button to
create the empty book. Finally, we verify that the book cannot be created by checking if the required fields (title,
ISBN, and publish date) are highlighted in red.

Starting task: In the test method, log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.

Writing code...
Adding Task: In the test method, log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.

Executing: "In the test method, log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.": Here is the code to
accomplish the login to the application using the SeleniumHelper class:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest {

@Test
public void loginToApplication() {
// Create a new instance of the WebDriver
WebDriver driver = SeleniumHelper.getWebDriver();

// Navigate to the test application

driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Find the username and password fields and enter the login credentials
WebElement usernameField = driver.findElement(By.name("email"));
WebElement passwordField = driver.findElement(By.name("password"));

usernameField.sendKeys("[email protected]");
passwordField.sendKeys("parola");

// Find and click the login button

WebElement loginButton = driver.findElement(By.tagName("button"));
loginButton.click();

// Close the webdriver to end the test

driver.quit();
}
}
```

In this code, we first create a new instance of the WebDriver using the SeleniumHelper class. We then navigate to
the test application using the `get()` method with the URL of the application.

Next, we find the username and password fields using the `findElement()` method with the appropriate `By` locator.
We then enter the login credentials by using the `sendKeys()` method on the username and password fields.

After that, we find and click the login button using the `findElement()` method and the `click()` method.

Finally, we close the WebDriver instance using the `quit()` method to end the test.
Note: This code assumes that the SeleniumHelper class has already been implemented with the necessary methods
to create a new WebDriver instance.

Starting task: Go to the "Books" page.

Writing code...

Executing: "Go to the "Books" page.": To accomplish this, we can use the Selenium WebDriver library to automate
the browser navigation.

First, we need to set up the Selenium WebDriver and open the browser. We can create a new class called
`SeleniumHelper` and add a `@BeforeMethod` annotation to create a new instance of the WebDriver before each
test method. Here's an example code snippet:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;

public class SeleniumHelper {

protected WebDriver driver;

@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
// Set the path to the chromedriver executable
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");

// Create a new instance of the ChromeDriver

driver = new ChromeDriver();
}
}
```

Next, we can create a new class called `BookTest` and extend the `SeleniumHelper` class. This will allow us to
access the WebDriver instance in our test methods. Here's an example code snippet for navigating to the "Books"
page:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest extends SeleniumHelper {

@Test
public void goToBooksPage() {
// Open the test application
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Log in with the given username and password

driver.findElement(By.id("inputEmail")).sendKeys("[email protected]");
 driver.findElement(By.id("inputPassword")).sendKeys("parola");
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button[type='submit']")).click();

// Navigate to the "Books" page

driver.findElement(By.id("navBooks")).click();
}
}
```

In the `goToBooksPage` test method, we first open the test application using the `driver.get` method. Then, we locate
the login form elements using the `By` class and interact with them to enter the username and password. Finally, we
click the login button to log into the application. After logging in, we locate the "Books" link on the navigation menu
using its id and click it to navigate to the "Books" page.

This code snippet demonstrates how to navigate to the "Books" page using Selenium WebDriver. Please note that
you may need to adjust the locators and other elements based on the actual HTML structure of the test application.

Adding Task: Go to the "Books" page.

Adding Task: Create a new Test method in the `BookTest` class to define the test for the "CreateEmptyBook" scenario.

Starting task: Try to create a book with only the author selected and empty other fields.

Writing code...

Executing: "Try to create a book with only the author selected and empty other fields.": To create a book with only
the author selected and empty other fields, we can follow the steps below:

1. Open the browser and navigate to the test application.

2. Login to the application using the provided username and password.
3. Go to the "Books" section.
4. Click on the "Create Book" button.
5. Select the desired author from the dropdown menu.
6. Leave the other fields empty.
7. Click on the "Save" button.
8. Verify if the book cannot be created by checking if the fields have turned red.

Here's an example code implementation using Java and Selenium:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class BookTest {

private WebDriver driver;

@BeforeMethod
public void setup() {
// Set the path to the chromedriver executable
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");

// Initialize ChromeDriver instance

driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}

@AfterMethod
public void teardown() {
// Close the browser
driver.quit();
}

@Test
public void createEmptyBookTest() {
// Navigate to the test application
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Login to the application

login("[email protected]", "parola");

// Go to Books section
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Books")).click();

// Click on Create Book button

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Create Book")).click();

// Select author from the dropdown

WebElement authorDropdown = driver.findElement(By.id("author"));
Select authorSelect = new Select(authorDropdown);
authorSelect.selectByVisibleText("Author Name"); // Replace with actual author name

// Leave other fields empty

// Click on Save button

driver.findElement(By.id("save")).click();

// Verify if the book cannot be created by checking if the fields have turned red
boolean hasError = driver.findElement(By.className("error-color")).isDisplayed();
Assert.assertTrue(hasError);
}

private void login(String username, String password) {

driver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys(username);
driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys(password);
driver.findElement(By.id("login")).click();
}
}
```

Note: This code assumes you have the Selenium WebDriver and TestNG dependencies set up in your Maven project.
You will also need to download the ChromeDriver executable and provide its path in the `setup()` method.

Adding Task: Try to create a book with only the author selected and empty other fields.

Starting task: Verify that the book cannot be created (fields turn red).

Generating response...

4. Add a "@AfterMethod" TestNG annotation in the SeleniumHelper class to close the WebDriver instance after each
test.
5. In the BookTest class, create a test method where the test steps will be defined.
6. Implement the test to create a book by interacting with the web application using Selenium.
7. Access the created book and lend it using one of the three users from the dropdown.
8. Verify that the book can be successfully lent by using Selenium assertions.

For the "CreateEmptyBook" test:

1. In the BookTest class, create a new "@Test" method.
2. Implement the test to log in to the application using Selenium.
3. Navigate to the "Books" section of the application.
4. Try to create a book without filling in the other fields (only select the author).
5. Verify that the book cannot be created by checking if the fields turn red.

For the "DeleteBook" test:

1. In the BookTest class, create a new "@Test" method.
2. Implement the test to create a new book using Selenium.
3. Verify that the book can be successfully created.
4. Delete the created book.
5. Verify that the book is successfully deleted.

For the "EditBookTest":

1. In the BookTest class, create a new test method.
2. Use an API call to create a new user.
3. Create a new author using Selenium.
4. Create a new book using Selenium.
5. Edit the book created in step 4.
6. Verify that the update is present in the application by using Selenium.

If you are unable to verify the tests, you can just provide the code output as requested. However, it is recommended
to implement the tests and verify them using Selenium assertions.

Remember to extract variables and use them appropriately to make your code more maintainable. Also, make smart
and efficient decisions when implementing the tests.

Adding Task: Verify that the book cannot be created (fields turn red).

Starting task: Add a new Test method to the BookTest class for the "DeleteBook" test.

Writing code...

Executing: "Add a new Test method to the BookTest class for the "DeleteBook" test.": ## Add a new Test method for
the "DeleteBook" test

To add a new test method for the "DeleteBook" test, follow these steps:

1. Open the `BookTest` class in the `src/test/java` directory.

2. Add the `@Test` annotation above the method declaration to indicate that it is a test method.
3. Name the method something descriptive, like `testDeleteBook`.
4. Inside the method, write the code to perform the test steps and assertions.

Here's an example implementation of the `testDeleteBook` method:

```java
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

public class BookTest {

@Test
public void testDeleteBook() {
// Login in the application with Selenium
SeleniumHelper.login();

// Go to Books
WebElement booksLink = SeleniumHelper.getDriver().findElement(By.linkText("Books"));
booksLink.click();

// Create a new book

SeleniumHelper.createBook();

// Verify the book can be deleted

WebElement deleteButton = SeleniumHelper.getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'De-
lete')]"));
deleteButton.click();

// Assert that the book is deleted

WebElement deletedBook = SeleniumHelper.getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//td[contains(text(), 'Book
Title')]"));
 assert deletedBook == null : "Book was not deleted successfully";
}
}
```

This code assumes that you have implemented the `SeleniumHelper` class with the necessary methods for logging
in, creating a book, and getting the WebDriver instance. Adjust the locators and assertions according to your specific
application.

Adding Task: Add a new Test method to the BookTest class for the "DeleteBook" test.

Adding Task: Complete the implementation of the `lendBookTest()` method in the `BookTest` class.

Starting task: In the test method, create a new book using the SeleniumHelper class.

Writing code...

Executing: "In the test method, create a new book using the SeleniumHelper class.": ```java
// Import necessary libraries
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

public class BookTest {

// Declare WebDriver instance

private WebDriver driver;

// Instantiate SeleniumHelper class

private SeleniumHelper seleniumHelper;

// BeforeMethod annotation to create a new WebDriver instance

@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
// Create WebDriver instance (e.g., ChromeDriver or FirefoxDriver)
driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Instantiate SeleniumHelper class with the WebDriver instance

seleniumHelper = new SeleniumHelper(driver);
}

// AfterMethod annotation to close the WebDriver instance (close browser)

@AfterMethod
public void tearDown() {
// Close the WebDriver instance
driver.quit();
}
 // Test method to create a new book
@Test
public void createBookTest() {
// Create a book
seleniumHelper.createBook("Book Title", "Author Name", "1234567890");

// Verify the book can be created (Selenium)

boolean isBookCreated = seleniumHelper.verifyBookCreation("Book Title");
Assert.assertTrue(isBookCreated, "Book creation test failed");
}
}
```

Next, create the `SeleniumHelper` class that contains the methods for creating a new book and verifying its creation.

```java
public class SeleniumHelper {

private WebDriver driver;

public SeleniumHelper(WebDriver driver) {

this.driver = driver;
}

// Method to create a new book

public void createBook(String title, String author, String isbn) {
// Login to the application
login();

// Go to Books page
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Books")).click();

// Click on "New Book" button

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'New Book')]")).click();

// Enter book details

driver.findElement(By.id("title")).sendKeys(title);

// Select author from dropdown

Select authorDropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("author")));
authorDropdown.selectByVisibleText(author);

// Enter ISBN
driver.findElement(By.id("isbn")).sendKeys(isbn);

// Click on "Save" button

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Save')]")).click();
}
 // Method to verify book creation
public boolean verifyBookCreation(String title) {
// Go to Books page
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Books")).click();

// Search for the created book by title

WebElement book = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[contains(text(),'" + title + "')]"));

// Check if the book is displayed

return book.isDisplayed();
}

// Method to login to the application

private void login() {
// Navigate to login page
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Enter username
driver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys("[email protected]");

// Enter password
driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys("parola");

// Click on "Login" button

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Login')]")).click();
}
}
```

This code creates a `BookTest` class with a `createBookTest` method that creates a new book using the `Seleni-
umHelper` class. The `SeleniumHelper` class contains methods for creating a book, verifying its creation, and logging
in to the application.

To run the test, you can use a testing framework such as TestNG or JUnit. Make sure to add the necessary
dependencies to your project's `pom.xml` file if you are using Maven.

Adding Task: In the test method, create a new book using the SeleniumHelper class.

Starting task: Verify that the book can be deleted.

Generating response...

Executing: "Verify that the book can be deleted.": To perform the task of verifying that the book can be deleted, we
need to follow the given steps:

1. Create a new Maven project and add the necessary dependencies for Selenium and TestNG.
2. Create a new Java class called "BookTest" in the src/test/java directory.
3. In the "BookTest" class, create a new test method with the @Test annotation.
4. Inside the test method, first log in to the application using Selenium.
5. Go to the "Books" page.
6. Create a new book by selecting an author and filling in the necessary details.
7. After creating the book, verify that it is successfully created by checking if it is displayed in the book list.
8. Delete the book by clicking on the delete button for that specific book.
9. Verify that the book is deleted by checking if it is no longer displayed in the book list.

Here is a sample code that demonstrates the above steps:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;

public class BookTest {

private WebDriver driver;

@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
// Set up the WebDriver instance
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
}

@AfterMethod
public void tearDown() {

driver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys("[email protected]");
driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys("parola");
driver.findElement(By.id("login-button")).click();

// Go to the Books page

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Books")).click();

// Create a new book

WebElement authorDropdown = driver.findElement(By.id("author"));
authorDropdown.sendKeys("Author Name"); // Replace with the desired author name
// Fill in the other fields if necessary

// Submit the form to create the book

 driver.findElement(By.id("create-book-button")).click();

// Verify that the book is created

WebElement bookList = driver.findElement(By.id("book-list"));
WebElement createdBook = bookList.findElement(By.xpath("//td[contains(text(), 'Book Title')]")); // Replace with
the desired book title
assert createdBook.isDisplayed();

// Delete the book

WebElement deleteButton = createdBook.findElement(By.xpath("./following-sibling::td/button[contains(text(),
'Delete')]"));
deleteButton.click();

// Verify that the book is deleted

assert !createdBook.isDisplayed();
}
}
```

Note: The code above assumes the use of ChromeDriver and TestNG. You may need to download the ChromeDriver
executable and set the correct path in the `System.setProperty()` method. Also, make sure to replace the placeholder
values (e.g., "Author Name", "Book Title") with the actual values that correspond to the test scenario you are working
on.

Adding Task: Verify that the book can be deleted.

Starting task: Add a new Test method to the BookTest class for the "EditBook" test.

In the `editBookTest` method, we perform the following steps:

1. Create a new user using an API call: This step is not implemented in the provided code snippet. There should be
an implementation for making an API call to create a new user. This method should return the newly created user.

2. Create a new author via Selenium: This step is not implemented in the provided code snippet. There should be an
implementation for creating a new author using Selenium automation. This method should return the newly created
author.

3. Create a new book via Selenium: This step is not implemented in the provided code snippet. There should be an
implementation for creating a new book using Selenium automation, with the author created in the previous step.
This method should return the newly created book.
4. Edit the book created: This step is not implemented in the provided code snippet. There should be an implemen-
tation for editing the book using Selenium automation. This method should update the details of the book.

5. Verify the update is present in the application through Selenium: This step is not implemented in the provided
code snippet. There should be an implementation for verifying that the update made in the previous step is reflected
correctly in the application. This method should check if the updated details of the book are displayed correctly.

Adding Task: Add a new Test method to the BookTest class for the "EditBook" test.

Adding Task: Add a new task to the Java + Selenium project:

Implement the method `createUserUsingAPI` in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an API call.

Starting task: In the test method, create a new user using an API call.

Writing code...

Adding Task: In the test method, create a new user using an API call.

Executing: "In the test method, create a new user using an API call.": To create a new user using an API call, you
will need to use a library that allows you to make HTTP requests. In Java, you can use the Apache HttpClient library.
Here's an example code snippet to create a new user using an API call:

```java
import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder;
import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;
import org.json.JSONObject;

public class CreateUser {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Create a new HttpClient instance
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();

// Define the API endpoint URL

String apiUrl = "http://your-api-endpoint-url.com/users";

try {
// Create a new JSONObject to hold the user data
JSONObject userData = new JSONObject();
userData.put("username", "[email protected]");
userData.put("password", "parola");
 // Create a new HttpPost request with the API endpoint URL
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(apiUrl);

// Set the request headers

request.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

// Set the request body with the user data

StringEntity requestBody = new StringEntity(userData.toString());
request.setEntity(requestBody);

// Send the HTTP request and receive the response

HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);

// Get the response status code

int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();

// Check if the request was successful (status code 200)

if (statusCode == 200) {
// Get the response body
HttpEntity responseBody = response.getEntity();
String responseJson = EntityUtils.toString(responseBody);

// Process the response JSON as needed

System.out.println("User created successfully: " + responseJson);
} else {
// Handle the error case
System.out.println("Failed to create user. Status code: " + statusCode);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
```

Note: Replace "http://your-api-endpoint-url.com/users" with the actual API endpoint URL for creating users in the
application.

Adding Task: Implement the method `createUserUsingAPI` in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an
API call.

Starting task: Create a new author using the SeleniumHelper class.

Writing code...

Executing: "Create a new author using the SeleniumHelper class.": To create a new author using the SeleniumHelper
class, you can follow these steps:
1. In the SeleniumHelper class, create a method called "createAuthor".
2. Inside the "createAuthor" method, navigate to the desired page where the author creation form is located.
3. Use Selenium to fill in the necessary fields for creating an author. You can generate random data for the fields if
you've implemented the bonus requirement.
4. Submit the form to create the author.
5. Optionally, you can add assertions or checks to verify that the author was successfully created.

Here's an example implementation:

```java
public class SeleniumHelper {
private WebDriver driver;

// ... other code ...

@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
// Code to initialize the WebDriver instance goes here
}

@AfterMethod
public void tearDown() {
// Code to close the WebDriver instance goes here
}

public void createAuthor() {

// Step 1: Navigate to the author creation page
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/authors/create");

// Step 2: Fill in the author creation form

WebElement authorNameInput = driver.findElement(By.id("author_name"));
authorNameInput.sendKeys("John Doe"); // Replace with random data generation if necessary

// ... fill in other fields as needed ...

// Step 3: Submit the form

WebElement submitButton = driver.findElement(By.id("submit_button"));
submitButton.click();

// Step 4: Optionally verify that the author was created successfully

WebElement successMessage = driver.findElement(By.id("success_message"));
Assert.assertTrue(successMessage.isDisplayed(), "Author creation successful");
}

// ... other code ...

}
```

You can then use the `createAuthor` method in your test method or in any other test case where you need to create
an author.
Adding Task: Create a new author using the SeleniumHelper class.

Starting task: Create a new book using the SeleniumHelper class.

Writing code...

Executing: "Create a new book using the SeleniumHelper class.": ```java

// Import necessary libraries
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

public class SeleniumHelper {

private WebDriver driver;

// Constructor to initialize WebDriver

public SeleniumHelper(WebDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
}

// Method to create a new book

public void createBook(String title, String author, String genre) {
// Go to the Books page
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Books")).click();

// Click on the "Create Book" button

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Create Book")).click();

// Fill in the book details

WebElement titleInput = driver.findElement(By.id("title"));
WebElement authorInput = driver.findElement(By.id("author"));
WebElement genreInput = driver.findElement(By.id("genre"));
WebElement createButton = driver.findElement(By.id("createButton"));

titleInput.sendKeys(title);
authorInput.sendKeys(author);
genreInput.sendKeys(genre);

// Click on the "Create" button

createButton.click();
}
}
```

To create a new book using the SeleniumHelper class, you can call the `createBook` method and pass the title,
author, and genre as parameters. Here's an example:

```java
// Create a new instance of WebDriver
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Initialize the SeleniumHelper class with the WebDriver instance

SeleniumHelper seleniumHelper = new SeleniumHelper(driver);

// Create a new book

seleniumHelper.createBook("The Great Gatsby", "F. Scott Fitzgerald", "Fiction");
```

This will navigate to the Books page, click on the "Create Book" button, fill in the book details, and click on the
"Create" button to create the book.

Adding Task: Create a new book using the SeleniumHelper class.

Adding Task: Complete the implementation of the `deleteBook` method in the `SeleniumHelper` class to delete a
book using Selenium.

```java
// Method to delete a book
public void deleteBook(String title) {
// Go to the Books page
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Books")).click();

// Find the book by title

WebElement bookLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText(title));

// Click on the book to access its details

bookLink.click();

// Click on the "Delete" button

driver.findElement(By.id("deleteButton")).click();

// Confirm the deletion

driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
}
```

To delete a book using the SeleniumHelper class, you can call the `deleteBook` method and pass the title of the
book as a parameter. Here's an example:

```java
// Create a new instance of WebDriver
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Initialize the SeleniumHelper class with the WebDriver instance

SeleniumHelper seleniumHelper = new SeleniumHelper(driver);

// Delete a book
seleniumHelper.deleteBook("The Great Gatsby");
```
This will navigate to the Books page, find the book with the specified title, click on it to access its details, click on the
"Delete" button, and confirm the deletion.

Starting task: Edit the book created in step 26.

Writing code...

Executing: "Edit the book created in step 26.": In order to edit the book created in step 26, we can follow the following
steps:

1. Identify the element that represents the book on the application page.
2. Click on the element to access the book details or edit page.
3. Locate the edit button or link on the book details or edit page.
4. Click on the edit button or link to open the edit form.
5. Locate the input fields for the book details such as title, author, etc.
6. Update the desired details for the book in the input fields.
7. Locate the save or update button on the edit form.
8. Click on the save or update button to save the changes.
9. Verify that the book details have been successfully updated.

To implement this in Java using Selenium, we can add a new method in the BookTest class called "editBookTest".
This method will be annotated with @Test to indicate that it is a test method.

```java
@Test
public void editBookTest() {
// Steps 1 and 2: Identify and access the book
WebElement bookElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='book']"));
bookElement.click();

// Step 3: Locate and click on the edit button

WebElement editButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='Edit']"));
editButton.click();

// Step 5: Locate the input fields for the book details

WebElement titleInput = driver.findElement(By.id("title"));
WebElement authorInput = driver.findElement(By.id("author"));
// ... locate other input fields if needed

// Step 6: Update the desired details for the book

titleInput.clear();
titleInput.sendKeys("New Title");
authorInput.clear();
authorInput.sendKeys("New Author");
// ... update other input fields if needed

// Step 7: Locate and click on the save button

WebElement saveButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='Save']"));
saveButton.click();

// Step 8: Verify that the book details have been updated

WebElement updatedTitleElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='book']//h3"));
String updatedTitle = updatedTitleElement.getText();
WebElement updatedAuthorElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='book']//p[@class='author']"));
String updatedAuthor = updatedAuthorElement.getText();

// Verify the updated details

Assert.assertEquals("New Title", updatedTitle);
Assert.assertEquals("New Author", updatedAuthor);
}
```

Note: This code assumes that the application uses XPath to locate elements. The XPath expressions used may need
to be updated based on the actual structure of the application's HTML elements.

Adding Task: Edit the book created in step 26.

Adding Task: Create a new Java class called "UserTest" in the src/test/java directory.

Starting task: Verify that the update is present in the application using Selenium.

Writing code...

Executing: "Verify that the update is present in the application using Selenium.": To verify that the update is present
in the application using Selenium, we need to perform the following steps:

1. Open the application in a web browser using Selenium WebDriver.

2. Log in to the application using the provided username and password.
3. Navigate to the Books page.
4. Find the book that was created in the EditBookTest.
5. Verify that the updated information is present on the book details page.

Here is an example code snippet in Java using Selenium WebDriver to accomplish this:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class BookUpdateVerificationTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");

// Create a new instance of the ChromeDriver.

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
 try {
// Open the application in the web browser.
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Log in to the application.

WebElement emailInput = driver.findElement(By.id("email"));
WebElement passwordInput = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));
WebElement loginButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Log In')]"));

emailInput.sendKeys("[email protected]");
passwordInput.sendKeys("parola");
loginButton.click();

// Navigate to the Books page.

WebElement booksLink = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Books')]"));
booksLink.click();

// Find the book that was created in the EditBookTest.

WebElement bookLink = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Book Title')]"));
bookLink.click();

// Verify that the updated information is present on the book details page.
WebElement updatedInfo = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(),'Updated Info')]"));
if (updatedInfo.isDisplayed()) {
System.out.println("Update is present in the application.");
} else {
System.out.println("Update is not present in the application.");
}
} finally {
// Close the web browser.
driver.quit();
}
}
}
```

Note: Please make sure to replace "path/to/chromedriver" with the actual path to the ChromeDriver executable on
your system. Additionally, modify the locators (e.g., XPath) used in the code to match the structure of the application's
webpage.

Adding Task: Verify that the update is present in the application using Selenium.

Starting task: Create a new Java class called "UserTest" in the src/test/java directory.
Add a Test method to the UserTest class to define the test.
In the test method, create a new account using the SeleniumHelper class.
Log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.
Verify that the user is able to successfully log in using Selenium.
Writing code...

Adding Task: Create a new Java class called "UserTest" in the src/test/java directory.
Add a Test method to the UserTest class to define the test.
In the test method, create a new account using the SeleniumHelper class.
Log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.

Executing: "Create a new Java class called "UserTest" in the src/test/java directory.
Add a Test method to the UserTest class to define the test.
In the test method, create a new account using the SeleniumHelper class.
Log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.
Verify that the user is able to successfully log in using Selenium.": ## UserTest Class

First, we will create a new Java class called "UserTest" in the src/test/java directory. This class will be responsible
for testing the user-related functionalities in the application.

```java
package test.java;

import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class UserTest {

@Test
public void testUserLogin() {
// TODO: Implement test for user login
}

}
```

## User Login Test Method

Next, we will add a test method to the UserTest class to define the test for user login. In this method, we will create
a new account using the SeleniumHelper class, log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class, and verify
that the user is able to successfully log in using Selenium.

```java
@Test
public void testUserLogin() {
// Create a new account using the SeleniumHelper class
SeleniumHelper.createAccount();

// Log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class

SeleniumHelper.login();

// Verify that the user is able to successfully log in using Selenium

Assert.assertTrue(SeleniumHelper.isLoggedIn(), "User login failed");
}
```

In this test method, we assume that the SeleniumHelper class already has methods for creating a new account
and logging in to the application. The `SeleniumHelper.createAccount()` method will create a new account using
the provided username and password. The `SeleniumHelper.login()` method will log in to the application using the
created account. The `SeleniumHelper.isLoggedIn()` method will verify if the user is currently logged in.

Note: The implementation of the SeleniumHelper class and its methods are not provided here as they are not
specified in the given requirements. However, these methods can be implemented using Selenium WebDriver and
the provided test application URL, username, and password.

By running this test method, we can verify if the user is able to successfully log in to the application using Selenium.
If the test passes, the assertion will not throw an exception. If the test fails, the assertion will throw an exception and
the test will be marked as failed.

Adding Task: Implement the `createUserUsingAPI` method in the `UserTest` class to create a new user using an API
call.

Explanation:
1. The code defines a new test method called "lendBookTest" in the BookTest class to test the "LendBook" scenario.
2. It first creates a new book by locating the book title and author input fields and entering the test data.
3. It then clicks the save button to save the book.
4. Next, it locates the link to the created book and clicks on it to access the book details page.
5. It locates the user dropdown and selects the first user from the dropdown.
6. It clicks the lend button to lend the book to the selected user.
7. Finally, it verifies that the lend status is displayed as "Lent" by locating the lend status element and comparing its
text with the expected value using the `assertEquals` method.

Adding Task: Create a new Test method in the BookTest class to define the test for the "LendBook" scenario.

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest {

@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// Create a new book

}

private void accessAndLendBook() {

// Your code to access the book and lend it goes here
// Use Selenium to navigate to the book's page

}

private void verifyBookLending() {

// Your code to verify that the book can be lended goes here
// Use Selenium to check if the book's lending status is updated correctly
// Assert or log the result based on the verification
}
}
```

In the above code, I have created a new test method `lendBookTest()` in the `BookTest` class to define the test for
the "LendBook" scenario. The test consists of three steps: creating a new book, accessing the book and lending it,
and verifying that the book can be lended.

The `createBook()` method is responsible for creating a new book. It uses Selenium to navigate to the "Books" page,
fills in the necessary details to create a new book, and submits the form to create the book.

The `accessAndLendBook()` method is responsible for accessing the book and lending it. It uses Selenium to
navigate to the book's page, clicks on the book's name to access it, selects one of the users from the dropdown
using Selenium, and lends the book by clicking on the appropriate button.

The `verifyBookLending()` method is responsible for verifying that the book can be lended. It uses Selenium to check
if the book's lending status is updated correctly and asserts or logs the result based on the verification.

Please note that the implementation of the methods may vary depending on the specific details of the web application
and the Selenium framework being used. The provided code is a general outline of the steps involved in the
"LendBook" scenario.

Create a new Test method in the `BookTest` class to define the test for the "LendBook" scenario.": ## LendBook Test

To fulfill the requirements of the "LendBook" test scenario, we need to add the necessary code to the `lendBookTest()`
method in the `BookTest` class.

First, we need to create a new account using the `SeleniumHelper` class. The `createNewAccount()` method can
be used for this purpose.

```java
@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// Create a new account
seleniumHelper.createNewAccount();

// Rest of the test steps...

}
```

Next, we need to log in to the application using the `SeleniumHelper` class. The `login()` method can be used for
this purpose.

```java
@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// Create a new account
seleniumHelper.createNewAccount();

// Log in to the application

seleniumHelper.login();

// Rest of the test steps...

}
```

After logging in, we need to create an author using the `SeleniumHelper` class. The `createAuthor()` method can be
used for this purpose.

```java
@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// Create a new account
seleniumHelper.createNewAccount();

// Log in to the application

seleniumHelper.login();
// Create an author
seleniumHelper.createAuthor();

// Rest of the test steps...

}
```

Once the author is created, we need to create a book using the `SeleniumHelper` class. The `createBook()` method
can be used for this purpose.

```java
@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// Create a new account
seleniumHelper.createNewAccount();

// Log in to the application

seleniumHelper.login();

// Create an author
seleniumHelper.createAuthor();

// Create a book
seleniumHelper.createBook();

// Rest of the test steps...

}
```

After creating the book, we need to access the created book by clicking its name. The `accessBook()` method can
be used for this purpose.

```java
@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// Create a new account
seleniumHelper.createNewAccount();

// Log in to the application

seleniumHelper.login();

// Create an author
seleniumHelper.createAuthor();

// Create a book
seleniumHelper.createBook();

// Access the book

seleniumHelper.accessBook();
 // Rest of the test steps...
}
```

Next, we need to lend the book using one of the three users from the dropdown. The `lendBook()` method can be
used for this purpose.

```java
@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// Create a new account
seleniumHelper.createNewAccount();

// Log in to the application

seleniumHelper.login();

// Create an author
seleniumHelper.createAuthor();

// Create a book
seleniumHelper.createBook();

// Access the book

seleniumHelper.accessBook();

// Lend the book

seleniumHelper.lendBook();

// Rest of the test steps...

}
```

Finally, we need to verify that the book can be lent using Selenium. The `verifyBookLending()` method can be used
for this purpose.

```java
@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// Create a new account
seleniumHelper.createNewAccount();

// Log in to the application

seleniumHelper.login();

// Create an author
seleniumHelper.createAuthor();

// Create a book
seleniumHelper.createBook();
// Access the book
seleniumHelper.accessBook();

// Lend the book

seleniumHelper.lendBook();

// Verify that the book can be lent

seleniumHelper.verifyBookLending();

// Rest of the test steps...

}
```

With these additions, the `lendBookTest()` method now includes the necessary code to fulfill the requirements of the
"LendBook" test scenario.

LendBook Test

```java
@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// 2. Create a new java class in src/test/java called: BookTest

// 3. Create a SeleniumHelper class and add a beforeMethod testNG annotation in order to create a new WebDriver

// TODO: Implement code to access the book and lend it via Selenium

// 8. Verify the book can be lended (Selenium)

// TODO: Implement code to verify that the book can be lended via Selenium
}
```

The above code defines the structure for the "LendBook" test scenario. It creates a new test method in the `BookTest`
class and sets up the necessary setup and teardown methods using the `beforeMethod` and `afterMethod`
annotations in the `SeleniumHelper` class.

To complete the test scenario, you will need to implement the code to create a book, access the book, lend it using
one of the users from the dropdown, and verify that the book can be lended. This can be done using Selenium to
interact with the web application.

Please note that the TODO comments indicate the areas where you need to write the actual code to perform the
desired actions.

Adding Task: Create a new Test method in the `BookTest` class to define the test for the "LendBook" scenario.

Adding Task: Implement the method `createBookUsingSelenium` in the `SeleniumHelper` class to create a new book
using Selenium.

Starting task: Add a new Test method to the UserTest class to define the test.

Writing code...

Executing: "Add a new Test method to the UserTest class to define the test.": To add a new Test method to the
UserTest class, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the UserTest class in your IDE.

2. Create a new method with the @Test annotation, like this:

```java
@Test
public void testCreateNewUser() {
// Test code goes here
}
```

3. Inside the testCreateNewUser method, write the code to perform the test. Here's a possible implementation:

```java
@Test
public void testCreateNewUser() {
// Create a new user randomly
String newUser = generateRandomUser();

// Create a new account via Selenium

 seleniumHelper.createAccount(newUser);

// Log in to the app using the new account

seleniumHelper.login(newUser);

// Verify that the user is logged in successfully

assertTrue(seleniumHelper.isLoggedIn());

// Create an author randomly

String newAuthor = generateRandomAuthor();

// Create a new author via Selenium

seleniumHelper.createAuthor(newAuthor);

// Verify that the author is created successfully

assertTrue(seleniumHelper.isAuthorCreated(newAuthor));
}
```

4. Make sure to import any necessary classes and define the necessary variables, such as the seleniumHelper
object.

That's it! You have added a new Test method to the UserTest class. This method will create a new user, log in to the
app using the new user, create a random author, and verify that the author is created successfully.

Adding Task: Add a new Test method to the UserTest class to define the test.

}
```

In the `UserTest` class, I have added two new test methods: `testCreateNewUser` and `testLogin`.

The `testCreateNewUser` method navigates to the test application, clicks on the "Create account" button, generates
a random email address using the `generateRandomEmail` helper method, enters the email and password in the
registration form, and verifies that the account has been created successfully by checking the presence of the
success message.

The `testLogin` method navigates to the test application, enters the username and password in the login form, clicks
on the "Login" button, and verifies that the user has been logged in successfully by checking the presence of the
success message.
Both methods use Selenium WebDriver to interact with the web elements on the page and perform the necessary
actions. The `WebDriverWait` class is used to wait for specific conditions to be met before proceeding with the test.
The `Assert` class is used to verify the expected outcomes of the tests.

Explanation:
This method is used to test the "LendBook" scenario. It creates a new book, accesses the book, lends it to one of the
users from the dropdown, and then verifies if the book was successfully lent. The method uses Selenium WebDriver
to interact with the web application.

First, it locates the "Add Book" button and clicks on it. Then, it enters the book name and selects the author from the
dropdown. It clicks on the "Create Book" button to create the book.

Next, it locates the link to the created book and clicks on it to access the book details page. It selects one of the
users from the dropdown and clicks on the "Lend Book" button.

Finally, it verifies if the book was successfully lent by checking if the "lent" class is present on the page. If the class
is found, it means the book was lent successfully. Otherwise, an assertion error is thrown.

This test method can be executed as part of the overall test suite for the application to ensure the lending functionality
is working correctly.

Complete the implementation of the lendBookTest() method in the BookTest class
": To resolve the given Java + Selenium project, we need to perform the following tasks:

1. Create a new Maven type project.

2. Create a new Java class called "BookTest" in the src/test/java directory.
3. Create a SeleniumHelper class and add a beforeMethod TestNG annotation to create a new WebDriver instance.
4. Add an afterMethod TestNG annotation in the SeleniumHelper class to close the WebDriver instance (close the
browser).
5. In the BookTest class, create a Test method where the test will be defined.
6. Create a book using the SeleniumHelper class.
7. Access the created book by clicking its name and lend a book using one of the three users from the dropdown.
8. Verify that the book can be lent using Selenium.

To achieve this, we need to implement the following steps in the lendBookTest() method of the BookTest class:

1. Create a new Maven type project and import the required dependencies for Selenium and TestNG.
2. Create a new Java class called "BookTest" in the src/test/java directory.
3. Create a SeleniumHelper class with a method to create a new WebDriver instance and another method to close
the WebDriver instance.
4. Add a beforeMethod TestNG annotation to the SeleniumHelper class, which will create a new WebDriver instance
before each test method execution.
5. Add an afterMethod TestNG annotation to the SeleniumHelper class, which will close the WebDriver instance after
each test method execution.
6. In the BookTest class, create a Test method called "lendBookTest" where the test scenario will be defined.
7. Inside the lendBookTest() method, add the code to create a new account using the SeleniumHelper class. This can
be done by navigating to the registration page of the test application, filling in the required fields (including random
values for username and password), and submitting the form.
8. Next, add the code to log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class. This can be done by navigating to
the login page, filling in the username and password fields with the values generated in step 7, and clicking the login
button.
9. Then, add the code to create an author using the SeleniumHelper class. This can be done by navigating to the
author creation page, filling in the required fields with random values, and submitting the form.
10. After that, add the code to create a book using the SeleniumHelper class. This can be done by navigating to the
book creation page, filling in the required fields (including selecting the author created in step 9), and submitting the
form.
11. Next, add the code to access the created book by clicking its name. This can be done by navigating to the book
list page, locating the newly created book in the table, and clicking its name.
12. Then, add the code to lend the book using one of the three users from the dropdown. This can be done by
selecting a user from the dropdown and clicking the lend button.
13. Finally, add the code to verify that the book can be lent using Selenium. This can be done by checking if the lend
button is disabled or if a success message is displayed after lending the book.
Now, let's move on to the next task, which is to create a new test method in the BookTest class for the "CreateEmp-
tyBook" scenario.

1. In the BookTest class, create a new Test method called "createEmptyBookTest" to define the test scenario.
2. Inside the createEmptyBookTest() method, add the code to log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper
class. This can be done by navigating to the login page, filling in the username and password fields with the values
generated in step 7 of the lendBookTest() method, and clicking the login button.
3. Next, add the code to go to the "Books" page using the SeleniumHelper class. This can be done by navigating to
the books list page.
4. Then, add the code to try to create a book with only the author selected and empty other fields using the
SeleniumHelper class. This can be done by navigating to the book creation page, selecting the author from the
dropdown, and submitting the form without filling in the other fields.
5. Finally, add the code to verify that the book cannot be created (fields turn red) using Selenium. This can be done
by checking if the fields turn red or if an error message is displayed after submitting the form.

Moving on to the next task, we need to create a new test method in the BookTest class for the "DeleteBook" scenario.

1. In the BookTest class, create a new Test method called "deleteBookTest" to define the test scenario.
2. Inside the deleteBookTest() method, add the code to create a new book using the SeleniumHelper class. This can
be done by navigating to the book creation page, filling in the required fields (including selecting an author), and
submitting the form.
3. Next, add the code to verify that the book can be deleted using Selenium. This can be done by navigating to the
book list page, locating the newly created book in the table, and clicking the delete button.
4. Finally, add the code to verify that the book has been successfully deleted by checking if the book no longer exists
in the table or if a success message is displayed after deleting the book.

Now, let's move on to the next task, which is to create a new test method in the BookTest class for the "EditBook"
scenario.

1. In the BookTest class, create a new Test method called "editBookTest" to define the test scenario.
2. Inside the editBookTest() method, add the code to create a new user using an API call. This can be done by making
a POST request to the API endpoint for creating a new user and storing the generated user credentials.
3. Next, add the code to create a new author using the SeleniumHelper class. This can be done by navigating to the
author creation page, filling in the required fields (including random values), and submitting the form.
4. Then, add the code to create a new book using the SeleniumHelper class. This can be done by navigating to the
book creation page, filling in the required fields (including selecting the author created in step 3), and submitting the
form.
5. After that, add the code to edit the book created in step 4 using the SeleniumHelper class. This can be done by
navigating to the book details page, clicking the edit button, modifying the required fields, and submitting the form.
6. Finally, add the code to verify that the update is present in the application using Selenium. This can be done by
checking if the modified fields are displayed correctly on the book details page or if a success message is displayed
after editing the book.

Moving on to the next task, we need to create a new Java class called "UserTest" in the src/test/java directory and
add a Test method to define the test scenario.

1. Create a new Java class called "UserTest" in the src/test/java directory.

2. Add a Test method called "createAccountTest" to define the test scenario.

This can be done by navigating to the registration page, filling in the required fields (including random values for
username and password), and submitting the form.
4. Next, add the code to log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class. This can be done by navigating to
the login page, filling in the username and password fields with the values generated in step 3, and clicking the login
button.
5. Finally, add the code to verify that the user is able to successfully log in using Selenium. This can be done by
checking if the login is successful by verifying a success message or if the user is redirected to the home page after
logging in.

Lastly, let's create a new Test method in the BookTest class to define the test scenario for the "LendBook" scenario.

1. In the BookTest class, create a new Test method called "lendBookTest" to define the test scenario.
2. Add the code to create a new account using the SeleniumHelper class.
3. Add the code to log in to the application using the SeleniumHelper class.

Starting task: Complete the implementation of the `lendBookTest()` method in the `BookTest` class.

Writing code...

Executing: "Complete the implementation of the `lendBookTest()` method in the `BookTest` class.": # BookTest Class

In the `BookTest` class, we will implement the `lendBookTest()` method to perform the test scenario mentioned in
the requirements.

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest {

private WebDriver driver;

@BeforeMethod
public void setup() {
// Create a new WebDriver instance
// Code to initialize the WebDriver (e.g., ChromeDriver, FirefoxDriver)
}

@AfterMethod
public void teardown() {
// Close the webdriver instance
// Code to close the WebDriver (e.g., driver.quit())
}

@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// Step 6: Create a book
createBook();

// Step 7: Access the book and lend it using one of the users from the dropdown
accessAndLendBook();

// Step 8: Verify the book can be lent

verifyLending();
}

private void createBook() {

// Navigate to the "Books" page
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/books");

// Click on the "Create Book" button

 WebElement createBookButton = driver.findElement(By.id("create-book-button"));
createBookButton.click();

// Fill in the book details (e.g., title, author, etc.)

WebElement titleInput = driver.findElement(By.id("book-title"));
titleInput.sendKeys("Test Book");

// Select an author from the dropdown

WebElement authorDropdown = driver.findElement(By.id("book-author"));
// Code to select an author (e.g., authorDropdown.selectByVisibleText("Author Name"));

// Click on the "Save" button to create the book

WebElement saveButton = driver.findElement(By.id("save-book-button"));
saveButton.click();
}

private void accessAndLendBook() {

// Access the book by clicking its name/link
WebElement bookLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Test Book"));
bookLink.click();

// Select a user from the dropdown to lend the book

WebElement userDropdown = driver.findElement(By.id("lend-book-user"));
// Code to select a user (e.g., userDropdown.selectByVisibleText("User Name"));

// Click on the "Lend Book" button

WebElement lendBookButton = driver.findElement(By.id("lend-book-button"));
lendBookButton.click();
}

private void verifyLending() {

// Code to verify if the book has been successfully lent
// (e.g., Check if the book's status is updated to "Lent" or assert that the book's lending details are displayed)
}
}
```

The `BookTest` class contains the `lendBookTest()` method which performs the test scenario. It includes three helper
methods: `createBook()`, `accessAndLendBook()`, and `verifyLending()`.

The `createBook()` method navigates to the "Books" page, clicks on the "Create Book" button, fills in the book details,
selects an author from the dropdown, and saves the book.

The `accessAndLendBook()` method accesses the book by clicking its name/link, selects a user from the dropdown
to lend the book, and clicks on the "Lend Book" button.

The `verifyLending()` method contains the verification logic to check if the book has been successfully lent. This can
be done by checking the book's status or asserting that the book's lending details are displayed.

Note: The code snippets inside the helper methods that interact with the web elements (e.g., finding elements,
clicking, filling in inputs) are placeholders and need to be replaced with the actual implementation using Selenium.
The specific WebDriver commands and locators may vary depending on the chosen Selenium framework and the
structure of the web application under test.

Adding Task: Complete the implementation of the `lendBookTest()` method in the `BookTest` class.

Starting task: Add a new task to the Java + Selenium project:

Implement the method `createUserUsingAPI` in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an API call.

Writing code...

Executing: "Add a new task to the Java + Selenium project:

Implement the method `createUserUsingAPI` in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an API call.": #
BookTest.java

In the `BookTest` class, we need to implement the `createUserUsingAPI` method to create a new user using an API
call.

```java
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest {

// Existing code

@Test
public void createUserUsingAPI() {
// Implement the code to create a new user using an API call

// Example code using RESTAssured library to make an API call

Response response = given()
.contentType("application/json")
.body("{ \"username\": \"[email protected]\", \"password\": \"parola\" }")
.post("https://api.example.com/users");

// Example code to verify the API response

int statusCode = response.getStatusCode();
Assert.assertEquals(statusCode, 200);

// Example code to parse the API response

String responseBody = response.getBody().asString();
JSONObject user = new JSONObject(responseBody);
String userId = user.getString("id");

// Use the created user for further testing

// e.g., pass the userId to the login method, create author, create book, etc.
}
}
```

In the `createUserUsingAPI` method, we can use a library like RESTAssured to make an HTTP POST request to
the API endpoint for creating a user. We set the request content type and body, and then send the request. We can
assert the status code of the response to ensure the user creation was successful.

After creating the user, we can parse the response body to extract any relevant information, such as the user ID. We
can then use this information for further testing, such as logging in, creating an author, creating a book, etc.

Note: Please replace the API endpoint, request body, and response parsing logic with the appropriate code specific
to your API.

Adding Task: Add a new task to the Java + Selenium project:

Implement the method `createUserUsingAPI` in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an API call.

Starting task: Implement the method `createUserUsingAPI` in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an
API call.

Writing code...

Executing: "Implement the method `createUserUsingAPI` in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an API
call.": To create a new user using an API call, we can use the `RestAssured` library in Java. Here's an example code
for the `createUserUsingAPI` method in the `BookTest` class:

```java
import io.restassured.RestAssured;
import io.restassured.response.Response;
import io.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest {

// Other test methods...

@Test
public void createUserUsingAPI() {
// Specify the base URI for the API
RestAssured.baseURI = "http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/";

// Create a request specification

RequestSpecification request = RestAssured.given();

// Set the request headers and body

request.header("Content-Type", "application/json");
request.body("{\"email\":\"[email protected]\",\"password\":\"password123\",\"name\":\"New User\"}");

// Send the POST request to create a new user

Response response = request.post("/api/user");

// Get the response status code

int statusCode = response.getStatusCode();

// Verify if the user was created successfully

if (statusCode == 201) {
System.out.println("New user created successfully");
} else {
System.out.println("Failed to create a new user. Status code: " + statusCode);
}
}
}
```

In this code, we first set the base URI for the API. Then, we create a request specification using `RestAssured.given()`.
We set the request headers and body with the required parameters for creating a new user. We send a POST request
to the `/api/user` endpoint and store the response in a `Response` object.

Finally, we check the response status code to determine if the user was created successfully or not. If the status
code is 201, it means the user was created successfully. Otherwise, we display an error message with the status
code.

Note: Make sure to add the necessary dependencies for `RestAssured` in your Maven `pom.xml` file.

Adding Task: Implement the method `createUserUsingAPI` in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an
API call.

Adding Task: Implement the method `editBookTest()` in the `BookTest` class to edit a book using Selenium.

Starting task: Complete the implementation of the `deleteBook` method in the `SeleniumHelper` class to delete a
book using Selenium.

```java
// Method to delete a book
public void deleteBook(String title) {
// Go to the Books page
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Books")).click();

// Find the book by title

WebElement bookLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText(title));

// Click on the book to access its details

bookLink.click();

// Click on the "Delete" button

driver.findElement(By.id("deleteButton")).click();

// Confirm the deletion

driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
}
```

To delete a book using the SeleniumHelper class, you can call the `deleteBook` method and pass the title of the
book as a parameter. Here's an example:

```java
// Create a new instance of WebDriver
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Initialize the SeleniumHelper class with the WebDriver instance

SeleniumHelper seleniumHelper = new SeleniumHelper(driver);

// Delete a book
seleniumHelper.deleteBook("The Great Gatsby");
```

This will navigate to the Books page, find the book with the specified title, click on it to access its details, click on the
"Delete" button, and confirm the deletion.

// Click on the book to access its details

bookLink.click();

// Click on the "Delete" button

driver.findElement(By.id("deleteButton")).click();

// Confirm the deletion

driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
}
```

This method performs the following steps:

1. Navigates to the Books page by clicking on the "Books" link.

2. Finds the book with the specified title using the `By.linkText` method.
3. Clicks on the book link to access its details.
4. Clicks on the "Delete" button using the `By.id` method.
5. Confirms the deletion by accepting the alert dialog using `driver.switchTo().alert().accept()`.

To delete a book, you can create a new instance of the `WebDriver` and `SeleniumHelper` classes, and then call
the `deleteBook` method, passing the title of the book you want to delete as a parameter.

Here's an example:

```java
// Create a new instance of WebDriver
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Initialize the SeleniumHelper class with the WebDriver instance
SeleniumHelper seleniumHelper = new SeleniumHelper(driver);

// Delete a book
seleniumHelper.deleteBook("The Great Gatsby");
```

This example assumes you are using ChromeDriver as the WebDriver implementation. You can replace it with the
appropriate driver for your browser.

Adding Task: Complete the implementation of the `deleteBook` method in the `SeleniumHelper` class to delete a
book using Selenium.

```java
// Method to delete a book
public void deleteBook(String title) {
// Go to the Books page

Explanation:
1. The `UserTest` class is created in the `src/test/java` directory.
2. The `setUp` method is annotated with `@BeforeMethod` to initialize the WebDriver instance and maximize the
browser window before each test method.
3. The `tearDown` method is annotated with `@AfterMethod` to close the WebDriver instance and close the browser
window after each test method.
4. The `testCreateNewAccount` method is annotated with `@Test` and implements the test case for creating a new
account.
5. The `testLogin` method is annotated with `@Test` and implements the test case for logging in.
6. The `testCreateAuthor` method is annotated with `@Test` and implements the test case for creating a new author.
7. The `generateRandomEmail`, `generateRandomPassword`, and `generateRandomAuthorName` methods are
helper methods to generate random email, password, and author name respectively.
8. The test methods use Selenium to interact with the test application, fill in forms, click buttons, and verify the
expected results using assertions.

Adding Task: Create a new Java class called "UserTest" in the src/test/java directory.

Starting task: Implement the `createUserUsingAPI` method in the `UserTest` class to create a new user using an
API call.

Writing code...

Executing: "Implement the `createUserUsingAPI` method in the `UserTest` class to create a new user using an API
call.": # UserTest Class

```java
import io.restassured.RestAssured;
import io.restassured.http.ContentType;
import io.restassured.response.Response;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class UserTest {

private static final String BASE_URL = "http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/api/v1";

@Test
public void createUserUsingAPI() {
// Generate random user details
String firstName = getRandomFirstName();
String lastName = getRandomLastName();
String email = getRandomEmail();
String password = getRandomPassword();
 // Create JSON payload for user creation
JSONObject requestParams = new JSONObject();
requestParams.put("firstName", firstName);
requestParams.put("lastName", lastName);
requestParams.put("email", email);
requestParams.put("password", password);

// Send POST request to create user

Response response = RestAssured.given()
.contentType(ContentType.JSON)
.body(requestParams.toJSONString())
.post(BASE_URL + "/users");

// Validate response
Assert.assertEquals(response.getStatusCode(), 201);
Assert.assertEquals(response.getBody().jsonPath().getString("firstName"), firstName);
Assert.assertEquals(response.getBody().jsonPath().getString("lastName"), lastName);
Assert.assertEquals(response.getBody().jsonPath().getString("email"), email);
}

private String getRandomFirstName() {

// Logic to generate random first name
return "John";
}

private String getRandomLastName() {

// Logic to generate random last name

}

private String getRandomEmail() {

// Logic to generate random email
return "[email protected]";
}

private String getRandomPassword() {

// Logic to generate random password
return "password123";
}
}
```

In the above code, the `createUserUsingAPI` method is implemented. This method sends a POST request to the
API endpoint '/users' with the user details in the request body. The response is then validated to ensure that the user
was created successfully.

The `getRandomFirstName`, `getRandomLastName`, `getRandomEmail`, and `getRandomPassword` methods are

placeholder methods that need to be implemented to generate random user details.
Adding Task: Implement the `createUserUsingAPI` method in the `UserTest` class to create a new user using an API

private String generateRandomPassword() {
// Generate a random password using any randomization logic
// For simplicity, let's assume the password is a random alphanumeric string with a fixed length
int length = 8;
String characters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
StringBuilder password = new StringBuilder();

for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {

int index = (int) (Math.random() * characters.length());
password.append(characters.charAt(index));
}

return password.toString();
}
}
```

The `createUserUsingAPI` method in the `UserTest` class is implemented to create a new user using an API call. The
method generates a random email and password for the new user, creates the request body with the user details,
and sends a POST request to the API endpoint for creating a new user. The method asserts that the response status
code is 201, indicating that the user was successfully created.

The `generateRandomEmail` method generates a random email by appending the current timestamp to a fixed
string.

The `generateRandomPassword` method generates a random password by randomly selecting characters from a
fixed set of characters and concatenating them to form the password. The length of the password is fixed to 8
characters.

Adding Task: Implement the method `createUserUsingAPI` in the `UserTest` class to create a new user using an API
call.

Starting task: Implement the method `createBookUsingSelenium` in the `SeleniumHelper` class to create a new
book using Selenium.

Writing code...

Executing: "Implement the method `createBookUsingSelenium` in the `SeleniumHelper` class to create a new book
using Selenium.": **SeleniumHelper.java**

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

public class SeleniumHelper {

private WebDriver driver;

public SeleniumHelper(WebDriver driver) {

 this.driver = driver;
}

// Method to create a new book using Selenium

public void createBookUsingSelenium(String title, String author, String genre) {
// Navigate to the Books page
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Books")).click();

// Click on the "Create New Book" button

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Create New Book")).click();

// Fill in the book details

driver.findElement(By.id("title")).sendKeys(title);
driver.findElement(By.id("author")).sendKeys(author);
driver.findElement(By.id("genre")).sendKeys(genre);

// Click on the "Save" button to create the book

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[value='Save']")).click();
}
}
```

In the `SeleniumHelper` class, the `createBookUsingSelenium` method is implemented. This method takes three
parameters: `title`, `author`, and `genre`, which are used to fill in the book details on the website. The method
navigates to the "Books" page, clicks on the "Create New Book" button, fills in the book details, and clicks on the
"Save" button to create the book.

To use this method, the `driver` instance must be passed to the `SeleniumHelper` class. The `driver` instance should
be created and managed in the `BookTest` class, as explained in the next section.

Adding Task: Implement the method `createBookUsingSelenium` in the `SeleniumHelper` class to create a new book
using Selenium.

Starting task: Implement the `createUserUsingAPI` method in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an
API call.

Writing code...

Executing: "Implement the `createUserUsingAPI` method in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an API
call.": To implement the `createUserUsingAPI` method in the `BookTest` class to create a new user using an API
call, we can use the `HttpClient` class in Java to send a POST request to the API endpoint and pass the necessary
parameters to create a new user.

Here's the code to accomplish this:

```java
import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.entity.ContentType;
import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder;
import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;

public class BookTest {

// ...

public void createUserUsingAPI() {

// Define the API endpoint URL
String url = "https://api.example.com/users";

// Create a new HttpClient instance

HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();

try {
// Create the JSON payload for the request body
String jsonPayload = "{ \"username\": \"newuser\", \"password\": \"newpassword\" }";

// Create the HttpPost request and set the request URL

HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);

// Set the request body as a StringEntity with JSON content type

request.setEntity(new StringEntity(jsonPayload, ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON));

// Send the request and receive the response

HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);

// Get the response entity

HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

// Check if the response is successful (HTTP status code 200)

if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 200) {
// Parse the response body if needed
String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(entity);

// Process the response or return the result as needed

System.out.println("User created successfully: " + responseBody);
} else {
// Handle the error response
System.out.println("Failed to create user. Error response: " + response.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// Handle any exceptions
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// ...
}
```

In this code, we first define the API endpoint URL where we want to send the POST request. Then, we create a
`HttpClient` instance using `HttpClientBuilder`. Next, we create the JSON payload for the request body and set it
as a `StringEntity` with the appropriate content type. We then create an `HttpPost` request and set the URL and
request body. After sending the request and receiving the response, we check the HTTP status code to determine
if the request was successful or not. If successful, we can parse the response body and process it further if needed.
Otherwise, we handle the error response accordingly.

In the above code, the `editBookTest()` method is implemented to edit a book using Selenium.

1. The `login()` method is used to navigate to the login page, enter the username and password, and click the login
button to log in to the application.
2. The `createAuthor()` method is used to navigate to the authors page, click the "Add author" button, enter the author
data, and click the "Save" button to create a new author.
3. The `createBook()` method is used to navigate to the books page, click the "Add book" button, enter the book
data, and click the "Save" button to create a new book.
4. The `editBook()` method is used to find the book with the old title, click on it to edit it, update the book title, and
click the "Save" button to update the book.
5. The `verifyUpdate()` method is used to navigate back to the books page, find the updated book link, and assert
that the updated book link exists.
6. The `generateRandomString()` and `generateRandomEmail()` methods are placeholders and should be imple-
mented to generate random strings and email addresses respectively.

author using Selenium.

Writing code...

Executing: "Implement the `createAuthorUsingSelenium` method in the `SeleniumHelper` class to create a new
author using Selenium.": To implement the `createAuthorUsingSelenium` method in the `SeleniumHelper` class, we
can follow the steps below:

1. Open the web application using the WebDriver instance.

2. Log in to the application using the provided username and password.
3. Navigate to the author creation page.
4. Generate random data for the author's details (e.g., name, email, etc.).
5. Fill in the necessary fields on the author creation form using the generated data.
6. Submit the form to create the new author.
7. Optionally, verify that the author has been successfully created.

Here's an example implementation of the `createAuthorUsingSelenium` method:

```java
public class SeleniumHelper {
private WebDriver driver;

// ... other methods and annotations

public void createAuthorUsingSelenium() {

// Navigate to the web application
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Generate random data for the author's details

String name = generateRandomName();
String email = generateRandomEmail();

// Fill in the necessary fields on the author creation form

driver.findElement(By.id("author_name")).sendKeys(name);
driver.findElement(By.id("author_email")).sendKeys(email);

Writing code...

Executing: "Create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to login to the test application using Selenium WebDriver
commands.": To create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to login to the test application using Selenium
WebDriver commands, we can follow these steps:

1. Open the SeleniumHelper class.

2. Create a public method named "loginToTestApplication" with the appropriate parameters, if any.
3. Inside the method, use the WebDriver instance to navigate to the test application's login page URL.
4. Use the WebDriver instance to locate the email input field on the login page and enter the provided username.
5. Use the WebDriver instance to locate the password input field on the login page and enter the provided password.
6. Use the WebDriver instance to locate the login button on the login page and click it.
7. Add any necessary error handling or assertions to verify the login was successful.
8. Save the SeleniumHelper class.

Here's an example implementation of the method:

```java
public class SeleniumHelper {
private WebDriver driver;

// Constructor to initialize the WebDriver instance

@BeforeMethod
public void setUp() {
// Code to initialize the WebDriver instance
}

// Method to login to the test application

 public void loginToTestApplication(String username, String password) {
// Navigate to the test application's login page
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/login");

// Find and enter the username

WebElement emailInput = driver.findElement(By.id("email"));
emailInput.sendKeys(username);

// Find and enter the password

WebElement passwordInput = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));
passwordInput.sendKeys(password);

// Find and click the login button

WebElement loginButton = driver.findElement(By.id("login"));
loginButton.click();

// Add any necessary error handling or assertions to verify the login was successful
}

@AfterMethod
public void tearDown() {
// Code to close the WebDriver instance
}
}
```

Note: This code assumes that you have already set up the WebDriver instance and handled the setup and teardown
of the WebDriver instance using testNG annotations `@BeforeMethod` and `@AfterMethod`.

driver.findElement(By.id("registerButton")).click();

// Wait for the account to be created

// You can add additional wait logic here

// Print success message

System.out.println("Account created successfully!");
}
}
```

In the SeleniumHelper class, I have added a method called "createAccount" that accepts the username and
password as parameters.
This method navigates to the registration page, fills in the registration form with the provided username and
password, and submits the form to create a new account on the test application.
It then waits for the account to be created (you can add additional wait logic if needed) and prints a success
message.

commands.

Writing code...

Executing: "Create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to log in to the test application using Selenium WebDriver

WebDriver commands, you can use the following code:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

public class SeleniumHelper {

public SeleniumHelper(WebDriver driver) {

this.driver = driver;

passwordInput.sendKeys(password);

// Find the login button and click it

WebElement loginButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Login')]"));
loginButton.click();
}
}
```

In the above code, we first navigate to the login page of the test application. Then, we find the username and password
input fields using their IDs and enter the provided username and password values. Finally, we find the login button
using an XPath expression and click it to log in to the application.

You can use this method in the test methods of the BookTest class to log in before performing other actions. For
example:

```java
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class BookTest {

// Set up the WebDriver
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Initialize the SeleniumHelper

seleniumHelper = new SeleniumHelper(driver);
}

@AfterMethod
public void tearDown() {
// Close the WebDriver
driver.quit();
}

@Test
public void lendBookTest() {
// Log in to the application
seleniumHelper.loginToApplication("[email protected]", "parola");

// Perform other actions for the lend book test

// ...
}

@Test
public void createEmptyBookTest() {
// Log in to the application
seleniumHelper.loginToApplication("[email protected]", "parola");

// Perform other actions for the create empty book test

// ...
}

@Test
public void deleteBookTest() {
// Log in to the application
seleniumHelper.loginToApplication("[email protected]", "parola");

// Perform other actions for the delete book test

// ...
}

@Test
public void editBookTest() {
// Log in to the application
seleniumHelper.loginToApplication("[email protected]", "parola");

// Perform other actions for the edit book test

// ...
 }
}
```

In the above code, we call the `loginToApplication` method from the `SeleniumHelper` class before performing other
actions in each test method. This ensures that the user is logged in to the application before executing any test steps.

In the SeleniumHelper class, we create a new method `createNewAccount()` which is responsible for creating a new
account with random user data. The method first clicks on the "Register" link to navigate to the registration page.
Then, it generates random data for the username, email, and password using the helper methods `generateRan-
domUsername()`, `generateRandomEmail()`, and `generateRandomPassword()` respectively. Finally, it fills in the
registration form with the random user data and submits the form by clicking the "Register" button.

The helper methods `generateRandomUsername()`, `generateRandomEmail()`, and `generateRandomPassword()`

are not implemented in the code snippet, but they should generate and return random values for the respective fields.

This method can be called from the `BookTest` class or any other test class where a new account needs to be
created.

}

// ...
}
```

Explanation:
- The `login` method takes in the `username` and `password` as parameters.
- It finds the email and password input fields on the login page using their respective IDs and fills them with the
provided values.
- It then finds and clicks the submit button to log in to the application.

Adding Task: Create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to create a new account on the application.

Starting task: Create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to create a new account on the application.

Writing code...

Executing: "Create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to create a new account on the application.": To create a
new account on the application, you can use the following method in the SeleniumHelper class:

```java
public void createAccount(String username, String password) {
// Navigate to the registration page
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Register")).click();

// Fill in the registration form with the given username and password
driver.findElement(By.id("user_username")).sendKeys(username);
driver.findElement(By.id("user_password")).sendKeys(password);
driver.findElement(By.id("user_password_confirmation")).sendKeys(password);

// Submit the registration form

driver.findElement(By.name("commit")).click();
}
```

This method takes the username and password as parameters and performs the following steps:

1. Clicks on the "Register" link to navigate to the registration page.

2. Finds the input fields for username, password, and password confirmation and fills them in with the provided
values.
3. Clicks on the submit button to create the account.

You can call this method in the `@BeforeMethod` annotation of your test class to create a new account before each
test method is executed.

For the bonus part of making the account creation random, you can generate random usernames and passwords
using a library like Apache Commons Lang. Here's an example using this library:

```java
import org.apache.commons.lang3.RandomStringUtils;

public void createRandomAccount() {

String username = RandomStringUtils.randomAlphanumeric(10);
String password = RandomStringUtils.randomAlphanumeric(10);

createAccount(username, password);
}
```

In this example, we use the `RandomStringUtils.randomAlphanumeric` method to generate random strings of

alphanumeric characters with a length of 10. These random strings can be used as the username and password in
the `createAccount` method.

loginButton.click();

// Wait for the page to load after login

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.urlContains("/home"));
}
}
```

Explanation:
This code defines a `SeleniumHelper` class that contains a method `login` for logging into the application using the
provided username and password. The method uses Selenium WebDriver to interact with the web elements on the
login page.

First, the method finds the username input field by its id and enters the username. Then, it finds the password input
field and enters the password. Next, it finds the login button and clicks it to submit the login form.

After clicking the login button, the method waits for the page to load by using the `WebDriverWait` class and the
`urlContains` ExpectedCondition. This ensures that the method waits until the URL of the page contains "/home",
indicating that the login was successful and the user is redirected to the home page.

Explanation:
- The `SeleniumHelper` class is responsible for providing helper methods for interacting with the Selenium WebDriv-
er.
- The `setUp` method is annotated with `@BeforeMethod` and is responsible for setting up the WebDriver instance
before each test method.
- The `tearDown` method is annotated with `@AfterMethod` and is responsible for closing the WebDriver instance
after each test method.
- The `createAccount` method navigates to the registration page, fills in the registration form with the provided
username, password, and a randomly generated email address, and waits for the registration process to complete.
- The `login` method navigates to the login page, fills in the login form with the provided username and password,
and waits for the login process to complete.
- The `createAuthor` method navigates to the authors page, clicks on the "Add Author" button, fills in the author details
with the provided first name, last name, and nationality, and waits for the author creation process to complete.
- The `generateRandomEmail` method generates a random email address by appending a random string generated
using UUID to the domain "@mailinator.com". This ensures that each account created has a unique email address.

- Inside the `login` method, we first navigate to the login page of the application.
- Then, we locate the username and password input fields using their respective ids and enter the provided username
and password.
- Finally, we locate and click the login button to log in to the application.

Adding Task: Create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to log in to the application using the provided username
and password.

Adding Task: Create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to create a new account with random user details.

Executing: "Create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to create a new account with random user details.": ```java
public class SeleniumHelper {
private WebDriver driver;

public void createNewAccount() {

// Navigate to the registration page
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Register")).click();

// Generate random user details

String username = generateRandomUsername();
String password = generateRandomPassword();
 String email = generateRandomEmail();

// Fill in the registration form with random user details

driver.findElement(By.id("username")).sendKeys(username);
driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys(password);
driver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys(email);

// Submit the registration form

driver.findElement(By.id("registerBtn")).click();
}

// Other methods...
}
```

Explanation:
The `createNewAccount()` method in the `SeleniumHelper` class is responsible for creating a new account with
random user details. It first navigates to the registration page, then generates random username, password, and
email using helper methods. It then fills in the registration form with the random user details and submits the form.

Adding Task: Create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to log in to the application with the given username and
password.

Executing: "Create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to log in to the application with the given username and
password.": To create a method in the SeleniumHelper class to log in to the application with the given username and
password, you can add the following code:

```java
package com.example.selenium;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

public class SeleniumHelper {

private WebDriver driver;

// Constructor
public SeleniumHelper(WebDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
}
public void login(String username, String password) {
// Navigate to the login page
driver.get("http://lib.academiatestarii.ro/");

// Enter the username and password

driver.findElement(By.id("username")).sendKeys(username);
driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys(password);

// Click the Login button

driver.findElement(By.id("loginButton")).click();
}
}
```

Explanation:
- The method `login` takes in the `username` and `password` as parameters.
- It navigates to the login page of the application.
- It finds the username and password fields using their HTML id attributes and enters the provided values.
- Finally, it clicks the Login button to log in to the application.

Note: This code assumes that the WebDriver instance has already been created and passed to the SeleniumHelper
class constructor.
