Selenium POM ( Page object model) Project

-          Create a Maven project as explained here. http://kranthikasthuri.blogspot.com/2016/04/how-to-create-maven-project-in-eclipse.html

-          Lets add Selenium and TestNg Maven dependencies in pom.xml

<dependencies>

    <dependency>

       <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

       <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>

       <version>2.53.0</version>

    </dependency>

  

       <dependency>

         <groupId>org.testng</groupId>

         <artifactId>testng</artifactId>

         <version>6.8</version>

         <scope>test</scope>

       </dependency>

</dependencies>

-          The moment you add above code in pom.xml, IDE starts to download the said jars

-          Now maven dependencies looks like this.

Java coding part:

-          Now create packages for Page object model as shown below.

-          Driver object creation

o   I have used singleton design patterns to create. Here you can find it. http://kranthikasthuri.blogspot.com/2016/04/design-patterns-singleton-single-object.html

o   MyDriver.java contains only Driver object related stuff

-          Now, Lets work on POM

o   What is POM : Segregating Locators , pages and Tests related to each page for better maintenance.

o   This is how I segregated http://theyachtclub.in/  Home Page Locators, Pages and Tests.

-              HomePageLocators

-              HomePage

-              HomePageTests

o   Locators:

§  This this the palace where all your Specific page level locators exists.

o   Pages:

§  This is the places where all your specific page level locators exists

o   Tests:

§  This is the places where all your specific page level Test cases exists

Do you want to see the code?
