Selenium stands out as the predominant tool for end-to-end automation testing, enjoying widespread popularity. It accommodates a variety of widely-used programming languages such as C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, and more. The trio of C#, Selenium, and NUnit stands as the most commonly employed combination for conducting end-to-end automation tests.
To setup Selenium C# with Visual Studio, just follow the steps below:

Step 3 : Give a name to project and make sure the location to the project files. Then Click Next
Finally you will see a interface as below.
Now the basic setup is complete for our new project with nUnit. We need to Setup Selenium libraries and drivers as per the next step.
Add Selenium Libraries and Drivers
To initiate End-to-End testing automation with C# and NUnit, follow these steps to integrate Selenium libraries and browser-specific drivers into your project:
Step 1: Add Selenium Webdriver NuGet Package
a. Open the Visual Studio Tools menu.
b. Navigate to NuGet Package Manager and select “Manage NuGet Packages for Solution.”
