Page Object Model (POM) design pattern

The Page Object Model (POM) is a design pattern used in test automation to enhance test maintenance and readability. It encapsulates web pages into reusable classes, separating page elements and actions.

Examples

// Example 1: LoginPage class using POM
public class LoginPage {
    private WebDriver driver;

    public LoginPage(WebDriver driver) {
        this.driver = driver;
    }

    public void enterUsername(String username) {
        driver.findElement(By.id("username")).sendKeys(username);
    }

    public void enterPassword(String password) {
        driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys(password);
    }

    public void clickLoginButton() {
        driver.findElement(By.id("loginButton")).click();
    }
}

// Example 2: Test class using LoginPage
public class LoginTest {
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    LoginPage loginPage = new LoginPage(driver);

    @Test
    public void loginTest() {
        loginPage.enterUsername("exampleUser");
        loginPage.enterPassword("password123");
        loginPage.clickLoginButton();
    }
}

// Example 3: HomePage class using POM
public class HomePage {
    private WebDriver driver;

    public HomePage(WebDriver driver) {
        this.driver = driver;
    }

    public boolean isUserLoggedIn() {
        return driver.findElement(By.id("logoutButton")).isDisplayed();
    }
}
