B) To verify non activated user won't be able to login to topcoder account and only activated user is able to login
Description
Pre-condition : topcoder account must be registered but not active
1. Hit url : tcqa1.topcoder.com
2. Click login
3. Enter topcoder credentials in the topcoder account section
4. Click login(expected 1)
5. Now activate the account from the registration activation email
6. Once activated, login to topcoder account(expected 2)
Expected Results
1. User should get a message page saying 'Account Inactive
Your account is not active. Please activate your account from the link in the welcome email.'
2. User should now be able to login to topcoder account sucessfully.
C) To verify browser remembers the users username value if 'remember me' is checked
Description
1. Hit url : tcqa1.topcoder.com
2. Click login
3. Provide username and password and check "Remember me"

5. Once login click logout and close the browser
6. Reopen same browser and hit url : tcqa1.topcoder.com
7. Click login and try entering same username
Expected Results
Browser should remember the previous matching username
Please see the sample test suite format in the attached spreadsheet.
The developer should run the tests and fill the test result column in the provided spreadsheet and describe the fail reason.
Spreadsheet driven test suite
This test suite should be spreadsheet driven test suite. The java code should red the test steps from the spreadsheet and execute it via Selenium Web Driver.
Please refer to the attached spreadsheet 'Sample_SpreadSheet.xlsx' . Here, the column Action contains the names of the methods/functions that need to be called to perform a particular action. Column 'Objects/Fields' contains the object on which the action need to be performed. The identifiers to locate these objects are specified in the sheet'Local Object Repository'. Column 'Associated Data Column' contains some data value that the method may require.
Technical Requirements
The common methods should be put in Helper class so it can be reused by other test suites. e.g. access topcoder api, login (many test suites need user to login first), retrieve data from list, etc.
