The purpose of this research project is to shed light on the usability and the use case scenarios of the popular testing tool whichb is prominently used widely in projects of all sizes. The report gives a comprehensive summary of the tool usage and features, it also mentions the covergage methods and considers example test cases to prove the tool's simplicity.
