This is a fun technical manual on test automation with superhero theme running through the chapters. It starts with installing and configuration for beginners. The middle chapters explain how to embed enhance element selectors in click, setValue and select functions. It also describes how to find elements without locators. It finally shows users how to run tests from a LambdaTest cloud environment.
