Trainer is nice. His explanation is clear and interesting. He try to make the lessons interesting as possible. I enjoyed the lesson and gained a lot of knowledge. Thank you so much. The most useful technique I learned is the locating elements for different web component like textbox, radio buttons and buttons. Sometimes, the element ID is not capture correctly. We learned a different way of locating elements by using CSS selectors, XPath, Name and ID. I like the explanation. Thanks
