How can I refactor my tests using design patterns?

Refactoring tests using design patterns can improve maintainability and readability. Which design patterns are you considering?

I'm thinking about using the Strategy pattern. How would that work for my tests?

The Strategy pattern allows you to define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. In tests, you can use it to switch between different test strategies dynamically.

Can you give me an example of how to implement that?

Sure! You can create a base test class with a method that accepts a strategy. Then, implement different strategies as subclasses. This way, you can easily switch strategies in your tests.

That sounds great! Are there other design patterns I should consider?

Yes, you might also consider the Factory pattern for creating test objects or the Decorator pattern for adding functionality to your tests without modifying their structure.
