How to Create an Architecture for Web Test Automation

" summary

Shows a concrete Java stack: Selenium WebDriver + TestNG, Java Faker for test data, Log4j and ExtentReports for logs/screenshots, and a base Test class + TestNG listener that captures failures. Uses the Page Object model with a PageFactory and fluent APIs so tests contain no setup code. Runs tests in parallel across browsers via Docker containers autoscale (Selenium containers) that spawn per test session — demo scales to hundreds of containers, with ~1 minute spin-up — and integrates into a CI pipeline for smoke/acceptance schedules.
