Question

Can anyone state some of the advantages of Page Object Model framework?

Answer 1

Hey Naomi, POM (Page Object Model) framework has following advantages:

• Object Repository – Each page will be defined as a java class. All the fields in the page will be defined in an interface as members. The class will then implement the interface.

• Code maintainability – There is a clean separation between test code and page specific code such as locators and layout which becomes very easy to maintain code. Code changes only on Page Object Classes when a UI change occurs. It enhances test maintenance and reduces code duplication.

• Readability – Improves readability due to clean separation between test code and page specific code.

• Code reusability – We could achieve code reusability by writing the code once and use it in different tests.
