Written the Test Script in TestNG framework where the Open browser activity is happening in "baseClass" under `@BeforeTest` annotation and the Test Script is written in Test Packages under as `@Test` Annotation. IN the test Script I am extending the Base Class so that my `@beforetest`(opening the browser) will work first and then test case functionality should execute. But at TestScript I am getting NULLPointerException. `@BeforeTest` methods are returning the webdriver object and I thought it will work at `@Test` methods but this is failing Can anyone guide me here how to proceed further? public class BaseClass { public WebDriver driver; @BeforeTest public WebDriver openBrowser() { System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/Drivers/geckodriver.exe"); driver = new FirefoxDriver(); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(120)); driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.get("https://app.vwo.com/#/analyze/heatmap/129/reports?token=eyJhY2NvdW50X2lkIjo2LCJleHBlc%20mltZW50X2lkIjoxMjksImNyZWF0ZWRfb24iOjE1MDc3ODk0ODcsInR5cGUiOiJjYW1wYWlnbiIsI%20nZlcnNpb24iOjEsImhhc2giOiJiMzlmMTQ4MWE0ZDMyN2Q4MDllNTM1YzVlNWFjOGVlMCJ9"); return driver; } [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/bZe2F.png
