            public void browserCommandsTestMethod() {

// Create a new Instance of the Chrome driver

/*

           String actualUrl = driver.getCurrentUrl();

// Comparing actual and expected url

                       

           if (actualUrl.equals(url)) {

          System.out.println("Verification Successful - The correct Url is opened.");

                        } 

                else {

/*In case of Fail, you like to print the actual and expected URL for the record purpose

            System.out.println("The length of the page source is : " + pageSourceLength);

// Launching another website gmail along with facebook in the same browser
