Introduction to Async and Await in Testing:
Explanation of the importance of using async and await keywords when writing automated tests.
A sample test is demonstrated to show how async/await ensures that the test steps are executed in order.
Handling Asynchronous Operations in Tests:
Example of hovering over a menu and waiting for submenu items to appear before interacting with them.
Importance of await to prevent errors when interacting with elements that need time to appear.
Real-Life Scenario Example:
A relatable analogy using a login form to explain how async/await ensures that each step (entering username, password, and clicking "sign in") happens sequentially, preventing actions from occurring out of order.
Consequences of Not Using Async/Await:
Explanation of potential errors in testing if the commands are not executed sequentially, leading to actions being out of sync.
