Hello Nitin, to automate mouse hovering over a web element using selenium webdriver, you can follow this piece of code:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

public class MouseHoverWebElement {

 static WebDriver driver;

 public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chrome_driver_path);

  driver = new ChromeDriver();
  driver.manage().window().maximize();
  driver.get("https://www.edureka.co");

  WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("cloud-computing-certification-courses"));
  Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
  builder.moveToElement(element).build().perform();
  Thread.sleep(5000);
  driver.close();
 }

}
