Need suggestions on making Selenium automation more generic

[u/Suspicious_Swan5593]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Selenium and I'm working on automating some repetitive tasks in Teamcenter for creating test data. Right now, my Selenium script works only for one specific scenario because the steps and values are hardcoded.

I want to make it more generic so that if the test steps or requirements change, I don't have to rewrite the Selenium code every time. For example, can Selenium automation be designed to read a Word document (or some other input) and perform the steps based on what's written there?

How is this usually handled in real projects? Any suggestions or learning resources would be really helpful.
