UI Test Automation Structure

As UI test scripts increase, the same elements end up being duplicated across multiple locations, creating the hassle of having to modify all scripts whenever an element changes. This not only increases work time but also becomes a source of unexpected errors.

To solve this problem, the Page Object Model (POM) pattern is introduced. POM is an object-oriented approach that manages a page's UI elements and interaction logic by separating them into distinct classes.

Benefits of adopting POM:

• Ease of maintenance: Even when a UI element changes, only the page object class where that element is defined needs to be modified.
• Reusability: Defined page object methods can be reused across various test cases.
• Code readability: Test code can focus on business logic, making the structure more concise.

Structurally, it is efficient to manage directories separated into TestCases, page_objects, Utilities, config, and so on, representing each web page as a single object.
