What is the Page Object Model in Selenium WebDriver?

The Page Object Model (POM) is a design pattern in Selenium that enhances test maintenance and reduces code duplication.

How do I implement the Page Object Model in my Selenium tests?

To implement POM, create a separate class for each page of your application, encapsulating the page elements and actions.

Can you give me an example of a Page Object class?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

public class LoginPage {
    WebDriver driver;

    @FindBy(id = "username")
    WebElement username;

    @FindBy(id = "password")
    WebElement password;

    @FindBy(id = "login")
    WebElement loginButton;

    public LoginPage(WebDriver driver) {
        this.driver = driver;
        PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
    }

    public void login(String user, String pass) {
        username.sendKeys(user);
        password.sendKeys(pass);
        loginButton.click();
    }
}

What are the benefits of using the Page Object Model?

The benefits include improved test readability, easier maintenance, and the ability to reuse code across tests.
