Test automation patterns – not only Page Object
summary
Claim: extend Page Object with factories, builders and commands so tests assert actual entities rather than strings. Uses PHP, Behat, PHPUnit, Docker and Jenkins; CI runs about 700 test runs daily executing ~23,200 tests and ~2,500 scenarios across 8 machines with 24 parallel executors. Built a REST trojan sign-on API that generates test data and returns the same entity for clear assertions; uses domain identity and page factories to unify API and UI objects and handle country-specific page variations with reusable element abstractions.
