Test Definitions For Selenium POM

• While Selenium3 has done away with the attribute-driven PageFactory, the PageObject Model is still applicable

POM - Page Objects

PageBaseClass

• Create a BaseClass that will be used for the PageObject classes & their static methods
• Settings that will be common to all page objects can also reside here, though this base class can simply consume & return the 'driver'
• The PageObject clases will extend the BaseClass & provide static methods to be called from the PageActions classes

Home_Page

IWebElement = el;

public static void Login_Link(){

el = findElement(By.XPath("//a[@href='/login/']");

}

Login_Link()

Logout_Link()

Login_Page

Search_Page

Btn_SubmitButton()

CreateArticle_Page

TxBox_Title()

POM - Page Actions

• PageAction classes are used to abstract the PageObjects from the scripts that drive the tests
• Good practice is that the TestScripts don't reference WebDriver or WebElements directly, instead all calls should reside in the PageActions

HomePage_Actions

HomePage_LoginLink.Click();

LoginPage_Actions

SearchPage_Actions

CreateArticlePage_Actions

 

POM - BrowserUtils

BrowserOpen

BrowserNavigateTo
