Selenium WebDriver Advanced - Industry Standard Framework - Page Object Model Explained

The video tutorial introduces the concept of frameworks, focusing on the Selenium Webdriver framework and the Page Object Model (POM) design pattern. It explains the POM's role in enhancing test maintenance and reducing code duplication. The tutorial details how POM encapsulates web elements and methods, providing an interface for test classes. It highlights the advantages of POM, such as code reusability and maintainability. The video also discusses a hybrid framework combining POM with data-driven testing, allowing testing with various datasets without multiple test methods.

What is the primary purpose of using a framework in Selenium Webdriver?

• To make the code less readable

• To enhance test maintenance and reduce code duplication

• To ensure tests run slower

• To increase the complexity of the code

Which design pattern is commonly used in Selenium Webdriver for automation?

• Page Object Model

• Observer Pattern

• Factory Pattern

• Singleton Pattern

What is the role of a Page Object in Selenium Webdriver?

• To store test data

• To directly interact with the database

• To replace the test class

• To serve as an interface to the web page elements

How should a test class interact with a web application in the Page Object Model?

• By modifying the HTML code

• Directly through the web elements

• Through the methods provided by the Page Object

• By using SQL queries

What is a key advantage of using the Page Object Model?

• It increases the amount of code needed

• It improves code readability and maintainability

• It requires more test classes

• It makes the code less maintainable

What is data-driven testing?

• Testing only the UI components

• Testing without any data

• Testing with multiple datasets

• Testing with a single set of data

What is a benefit of combining Page Object Model with data-driven testing?

• It complicates the test framework

• It allows testing with various data inputs efficiently

• It limits the testing to a single dataset

• It reduces the number of test cases
