Contribution and creativity points

Selenium automation creativity points

1. Debugging Example
   We can create breakpoints to pause execution at any time then we can try to run some python code in the console to find a way to do something. That helps to develop efficiently.
2. CTRL + Left mouse click Example
   We can see the definitions or references or usages of any function or variable in our IDE like PyCharm. That helps to understand the existing code base efficiently.
3. Inspect elements and console Example
   In chrome, we can inspect HTML elements and run javascript code inside console. That helps up to find better selectors and automations steps efficiently.

NOTE: By pressing UP key we can see the history about what codes we had run during Python debugging and inside Chrome's console.
NOTE: If you are running javascript code inside selenium chromedriver's console then it will NOT keep history.
Good luck :)
