Design Patterns in Test Automation

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Concrete test automation design patterns for Java WebDriver are presented, including Page Object, Factory, Composite elements, LoadableComponent, fluent chaining, Decorator, Builder, Data provider, Proxy, Registry, and Steps, with code and real examples (Yandex page, YouTube player). A mini-framework is shown that uses PageFactory, EventFiringWebDriver and integrations (jdi/html-elements, Serenity), caches pages, blacklists heavy resources via a proxy, generates unique users from a registry and serialized test data, and demonstrates that a single locator change can update many tests; runnable samples and readable step reports are provided using Page Object, Decorator, Data provider and Steps.
