+# Automated Web Testing Framework with Selenium and Pytest
+
+A beginner-friendly QA automation project demonstrating end-to-end (E2E) testing for the SauceDemo e-commerce demo app (https://www.saucedemo.com/). This framework uses the Page Object Model (POM) for maintainable tests, covering login scenarios (successful and error cases) and inventory/cart flows. Built with Python, Selenium, and Pytest for modular, scalable testing.

+## Overview
+- **Goal**: Automate key user flows like user authentication, adding items to cart, and verifying cart contents.
+- **App Under Test**: SauceDemo – a sample e-commerce site for testing login, inventory, and checkout.
+- **Current Coverage**: 5 tests (4 login variants + 1 add-to-cart with cart verification).
+- **Run Environment**: Firefox headless via WebDriver Manager (no manual driver setup needed).
+
+## Tech Stack
+- **Languages/Tools**: Python 3.9+, Selenium WebDriver, Pytest, Pytest-HTML (for reports).
+- **Design Pattern**: Page Object Model (POM) for clean separation of page elements and actions.
+- **Config**: Credentials managed in a separate config file for security.
+- **Browser**: Firefox (headless mode for CI-friendly runs).
