Testing the user interface for any application is generally time-consuming when done for each new release. UI test automation is the most common and effective way to simulate the actual user journey and business use-cases for any application.
In this course, you will learn how to design a test automation framework from scratch for automating any web-based application using Java, Selenium, and TestNG. You’ll start by learning the basics of Selenium and TestNG and then move on to learn about build management, logging, and reporting, which are key learnings for any QA engineer or developer. By the end of this course, you will have successfully created a UI test automation framework.

Design a Test Automation Framework with Selenium and Java

# Introduction

Desired capabilities is a collection of key/value pairs used to configure a particular instance of the browser. It helps to set the properties or capabilities of a WebDriver. There are browser-independent capabilities like browser name, version, acceptSslCerts, etc and browser-specific capabilities like FirefoxOptions for Mozilla Firefox, and ChromeOptions for Chrome.

# Desired capabilities for Chrome
We have to create an instance of `ChromeOptions` with Chrome-specific capabilities. We can then pass the `ChromeOptions` object to the `ChromeDriver` constructor like below:

```
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(new File("<path to extension file>")); // add an extension 
options.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true); // accept all SSL certs by defaults
options.setUnhandledPromptBehaviour(UnexpectedAlertBehaviour.ACCEPT);
options.setHeadless(true); // To run Chrome browser in a headless environment
options.addArguments("start-maximized"); // Start Chrome maximized

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options); // create chromeDriver instance
```

Refer [link](https://selenium.dev/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/chrome/ChromeOptions.html) for all available ***ChromeOptions***. 

In this lesson, we will discuss the desired capabilities for both Chrome and Firefox and options available for them.
