Through practical exercises, participants worked with both absolute and relative XPaths, learning best practices to avoid common pitfalls. 

The second day was dedicated to Katalon Studio, where students installed and configured the tool. In the hands-on session, participants created their first test scripts, which included launching a browser, navigating to a URL, and verifying page titles. Debugging techniques were also demonstrated to help troubleshoot common scripting errors. 

The final day introduced Eclipse IDE for automation scripting. Students set up Eclipse with Maven and learned to configure Maven projects within the IDE. The practical session involved developing a complete automation script that performed website launching and integration of Maven dependencies. 

As Outcome, the workshop successfully bridged the gap between theoretical knowledge and industry practices in automation testing. equipping participants with essential automation testing skills.
