Selenium is a set of tools and libraries supporting browser automation and it is mainly used for web applications testing. One of the Selenium\u2019s components is a Selenium WebDriver that provides client library, the JSON wire protocol (protocol to communicate with the browser drivers) and browser drivers. One of the main advantages of Selenium WebDriver is that it supported by all major programming languages and it can run on all major operating systems.<\/p>\n
In this part of the JUnit 5 with Selenium WebDriver – Tutorial<\/em> I will go though the implementation of Page Object pattern with Selenium\u2019s built-in PageFactory support class. You are reading the second part of the JUnit 5 with Selenium WebDriver – Tutorial<\/em>.<\/p>\n All articles in this tutorial:<\/p>\n Coming up next:<\/p>\n The source code for this tutorial can be found on Github<\/a><\/p>\n We will be creating tests for JavaScript based Todo application available here: http:\/\/todomvc.com\/examples\/vanillajs<\/a>. The application is created as a Single Page Application (SPA) and uses local storage as a task repository. The possible scenarios to be implemented include adding and editing todo, removing todo, marking single or multiple todos as done. The implementation will be done using Page Object pattern.<\/p>\n The goal of Page Object pattern is to abstract the application pages and functionality from the actual tests. Page Object pattern improves re-usability of the code across tests and fixtures but also makes the code easier to maintain.<\/p>\n You can read more about this pattern in the Martin Fowler article: https:\/\/martinfowler.com\/bliki\/PageObject.html<\/a><\/p>\nPageFactory<\/code> provides mechanism to initialize any Page Object that declares WebElement<\/code> or List<WebElement><\/code> fields annotated with @FindBy<\/code> annotation.<\/p>\nAbout this Tutorial<\/h2>\n
