Question

What are the advantages of Page Object Model Framework?

Answer

Below are the advantages:

Code reusability - We could achieve code reusability by writing the code once and use it in different tests.

Code maintainability - There is a clean separation between test code and page specific code such as locators and layout which becomes very easy to maintain code. Code changes only on Page Object Classes when a UI change occurs. It enhances test maintenance and reduces code duplication.

Object Repository - Each page will be defined as a java class. All the fields in the page will be defined in an interface as members. The class will then implement the interface.

Readability - Improves readability due to clean separation between test code and page specific code
