How to Execute Automated Tests With Maven

Get introduced to the Maven commands that are needed to run Java automated tests in the command prompt.

We'll cover the following...

It has already been mentioned in the Project Information section (of the Selenium Automation Project chapter) that the project uses Maven for managing dependencies.

The dependencies are described in the pom.xml file:

Two Maven commands are needed for these purposes.
