differences between getText() vs getAttribute("attribute");
-> getText();
        -> returns the TEXT of the given web element.
        -> return type is STRING
        -> it does not accept any arguments.

        the closing tag.
    EX: <a href="https://facebook.com"> FACEBOOK </a>
    -> What will getText() method return?

    -> getAttribute("attribute");
        - It will return the value of given attribute
        - Return type is STRING

    EX: <a href="https://facebook.com" class="om56"> FACEBOOK </a>

        -> webelement.getAttribute("class") --> om56
