Selenium WebDriver Advanced - Industry Standard Framework - How to Remove Test Dependency

The video tutorial discusses refactoring test classes to improve readability and maintainability. It introduces the hermetic test pattern, emphasizing the importance of independent and self-sufficient test methods. The tutorial outlines the advantages of this pattern, such as preventing test pollution and ensuring stable tests. It also identifies common dependencies in test methods and provides steps to refactor them, including moving common steps like login to a setup method and declaring page objects globally.

What is the primary goal of the hermetic test pattern?

• To use third-party services for testing

• To ensure tests are dependent on each other

• To make tests faster by skipping setup

• To make each test independent and self-sufficient

Which of the following is a benefit of implementing hermetic test patterns?

• Tests have a clean start and prevent pollution

• Tests require less code

• Tests become dependent on external services

• Tests can share the same environment

Why is it important to have stable, independent test methods?

• They can succeed even if other tests fail

• They require less setup time

• They ensure the entire test suite is error-free

• They rely on other tests to pass

What is a suggested approach to handle common steps like login in test methods?

• Use them only in the first test

• Ignore them to save time

• Move them to a setup method

• Include them in every test method

How can declaring page objects globally benefit test methods?

• It increases test dependencies

• It makes tests run faster

• It reduces code duplication

• It complicates the test setup
