 ## Getting Started
 
 ```shell script
 $ git clone https://github.com/sergiomartins8/ui-automation-bootstrap.git
+$ cd ui-automation-bootstrap/
 $ docker-compose up -d
 $ mvn test -Dtestnames=Example
 ```
 
-### Inject runtime properties
+### Runtime properties
 
 Configurable on `pom.xml`

 > **testnames** (mandatory) - Tests to be executed (check `testng.xml`)
-
+>
+> **browser** (optional, default `chrome`) - Browser to execute tests
+>
 > **parallel** (optional, default `false`) - Tells testng the method of parallel test execution
-
+>
 > **threadCount** (optional, default `1`) - How many threads to use during test execution
-
+>
 > **listener** (optional, default `MockListener` and `ExtentReportListener`) - Additional listener to be used during test execution (check `testng.xml`)
-
+>
 > **environment** (optional, default `qa`) - Environment configuration to be loaded. However, it's overwritten when `run.tests.local=true`, falling back to default `local`.
