What is the Page Object Model (POM)?
Explain the Page Object Model design pattern, why it's important in
test automation, and how you've implemented it in your projects.
💭 Key Points to Cover:
-
Definition: POM is a design pattern that represents web pages as
objects/classes
-
Encapsulates page elements and their interactions in a single
class
- Improves code reusability and maintainability
- Reduces code duplication across test cases
-
Makes tests more readable and easier to update when UI changes
-
Example: Instead of finding elements in every test, define them
once in a page class
-
Best practice: One class per page with elements and methods
