Page Objects Design Pattern | Bondar Academy

Lesson Summary

Page Object Model (POM) is a widely used design pattern in test automation across various frameworks such as Cypress , Playwright , and Selenium . It helps in organizing code, improving reusability, and enhancing maintainability. Key Concepts of Page Object Model Organization: Each page of a web application corresponds to a class in the code. Methods: Classes contain methods that handle specific actions related to that page. Optimization: Reduces code duplication by encapsulating repeated actions into methods. Principles to Follow DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself): Extract repeated code into reusable methods. KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid): Avoid unnecessary complexity in the framework. Best Practices Descriptive Naming: Use clear and understandable names for methods and classes to enhance maintainability. Avoid Tiny Methods: Methods should encapsulate meaningful actions rather than being single-line functions. Although the emergence of coding agents may reduce the necessity for page objects, understanding this pattern is crucial for interviews and practical applications in many organizations. The next lesson will cover building a page object using Playwright .
