Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "beforeMethod(), which is annotated with the @BeforeMethod TestNG annotation."

A block of code is set as follows:

<input id="search" type="search" name="q" value="" class="input-text required-entry" maxlength="128" placeholder="Search entire store here..." autocomplete="off">

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.id("q"));

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "To run the tests, right-click in the code editor and select Run As | TestNG Test, as shown in the following screenshot."
