}This test script uses Selenium WebDriver with Java to automate the manual test case.
First, it opens the target URL and waits explicitly for the table cell containing 'Row 2' to appear.
Then it uses the parent::tr XPath axis to find the row containing that cell.
Next, it finds the following sibling row using following-sibling::tr[1] and verifies the first column text is 'Row 3'.
Similarly, it finds the preceding sibling row using preceding-sibling::tr[1] and verifies the first column text is 'Row 1'.
Assertions ensure the test fails if any expected condition is not met.
Finally, the driver quits to close the browser.
