Course details

The Page Object Model is a popular design pattern for automating web applications. Test automators can be more effective if they have mastered multiples ways of creating page objects and understand their pros and cons. In this course, Alan Richardson shows how to model GUI applications as page objects in Selenium. Discover how to refactor code into abstractions and abstract the details of your infrastructure, dependencies, and even technology elements like buttons and input fields. Explore the different types of page objects, and discover how to abstract navigation and test data. Plus, find out how to model the execution of an application with domain-specific languages. Alan closes with tips on making abstraction design decisions.

    I took this class years ago and it helped me break free from blindly parroting the Page Object Model by teaching me how the Page Object Model is just a clever implementation of abstractions. This course helps you understand the concept of abstractions with clear explanations and code examples tailored to a web automation audience. The examples are incredibly easy to implement in your code. The reason I'm writing this review over 2 years later is I was having a hard time researching how to inherit (C#) from the WebElement class. After hours of research, trial and error, I vaguely recalled Alan's example of a checkbox element implementing WebElement. I was instantly able to find the relevant lesson from his beautiful naming system and my problem is solved in 15 min. AMAZING. Thank you Alan Richardson!
