public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
    options.setLogLevel(FirefoxDriverLogLevel.TRACE);
    //System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\src\\test\\java\\drivers\\chromedriver1.exe");
    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\src\\test\\java\\drivers\\geckodriver.exe");
    wd = new FirefoxDriver(options);
    //wd = new ChromeDriver();
    String baseUrl = "http://demo.guru99.com/test/newtours/";
    String expectedTitle = "Welcome: Mercury Tours";
    String actualTitle = "";

    // launch Chrome and direct it to the Base URL
    wd.get(baseUrl);
