Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts and Chrome browser opens	Chrome browser window is open and ready	-	PASS
2	Browser navigates to 'http://localhost:8000/portfolio.html'	Portfolio webpage loads in browser	-	PASS
3	Wait until element with ID 'about-me' is present	'About Me' section is present on the page	Check if 'About Me' section is visible	PASS
4	Wait until element with ID 'projects' is present	'Projects' section is present on the page	Check if 'Projects' section is visible	PASS
5	Test ends and browser closes	Browser window is closed	-	PASS
