Dependency abstractions
- [Instructor] Our automated execution code is dependent on many libraries, and the external application is like drivers. So how do we abstract that to make it easier to maintain and work with?

So now we'll have a quick look at how this works and discuss the pros and cons. So if I get the pom.xml file working here, we can see that the pom.xml file is a way of declaring the dependencies required for the project.
