1. Download gist
2. Extract
3. cd into extracted folder
4. move WebDriverExampleTest.java into src/test/java (you need to create the folders first since they do not exist)
5. Download and extract the Chrome Driver and the Internet Explorer Driver (currently you can find the Chrome Driver here and the Internet Explorer Driver here)
6. Run with mvn test -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=path/to/chromedriver -Dwebdriver.ie.driver=path/to/iedriver

The test preforms a Google search for "Hello World" and then asserts that the search result contains the text "Hello World"
