Accelerate Your Testing Journey with Java Selenium POM

In today's fast-paced software development environment, the demand for reliable and efficient testing practices has never been higher. Automation testing, in particular, has become an integral part of the software development lifecycle, enabling teams to deliver high-quality software at speed.

Automation testing involves the use of software tools and scripts to execute test cases, compare actual outcomes with expected outcomes, and report test results automatically. Unlike manual testing, which is time-consuming and prone to human error, automation testing offers several benefits, including:

• Faster test execution

• Improved test coverage

• Reusability of test scripts

• Consistency in test execution

• Early detection of defects

Why Selenium?
Among the various automation testing tools available, Selenium stands out as the de facto standard for web application testing. Selenium is an open-source framework that provides a suite of tools for automating web browsers across different platforms.

What is POM?
The Page Object Model (POM) is a design pattern in Selenium that enhances test maintenance and reduces code duplication. By creating an object repository for web UI elements, POM separates the test logic from the UI interactions. This means that any changes in the UI can be managed by updating the page objects, without altering the test scripts.
