Instruction

Consider a simple maintenance request web app (https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~up3f/cs3250/assigns/sut/maintenance-request.php) app.
Develop at least 5 tests (i.e., 5 test methods) — be sure to use proper test oracles. Each test must target a different purpose or verify a different fact.
You may create a Selenium test file from scratch or use the provided maintenanceTest_template.java.
Some brief info that may help you familiarize yourself with basic web app concepts / syntax: HTML overview and intro to HTML and CSS.
