Page Sections Instead of Objects
summary
Advocates replacing coarse page objects with small page regions that group related elements so tests can query containers not just lists. Using Ruby and Watir and the open source ferris repo, the FAQ example shows eight questions and ten answers until regions reveal ten question/answer containers and identify which index lacks a question or answer. Works with singular sections like a header, gives namespaced elements and RSpec-friendly failures that pinpoint the bad index.
