We outlined the BasePage, WebDriverResource, and BrowserFactory classes. In this post we will be digging into the concrete page objects themselves as well as writing a sample test that uses multiple page objects. Concrete Page Class Each concrete page class extends BasePage. Doing so provides them with everything they need to be a page object. Each web… [continue]

In our previous post, Selenium Java: An Intelligent Example Part 1, we described how to manage Technical Debt and the importance of using a Page Model. We also gave an overview of the classes used in this example project. In this post, we will be getting into the code. We will demonstrate how everything ties together and how you could build a similar project to test your application. BasePage The BasePage class is at the center of it all. It… [continue]

In our introductory post, A Survey of the Automated Testing Landscape, we defined the problems we often find in automated testing. In this series, we will walk through an intelligent example of a Selenium test project that uses common design patterns and object oriented principles to help solve the problem of Technical Debt. This is not to say that this example is the perfect solution that will solve all of your problems. Remember from the introductory post that unicorns do… [continue]
