Tests
Each Layer only interacts
with the layer immediately
below it

Tip: React with UI changes
How we ensured it?
UI elements are independent
Referred from different layer
Only need to change the definition of the UI object

10. iconnect360.com
Thinking About Layers
Page Tests
Data Layer
Logger
The framework itself should be divided up by layers of functionality
Page
Repositori
es
Entities
UI Object
Repositori
es
Testlink Updater
Helper
Factory

Selenium
Browser (Web
App)
Tests

The Page Objects Model Pattern
Test
LoginPage::
Browser
LoginPage::Code
- Login()
- ResetPassword()
- ToggleRememberMe()
Pages are good way to model the functionality of an application
 Selenium - org.openqa.selenium.support.PageFactory
 .NET – Custom design

Fine tuning existing process
And because our developers are awesome  !
Developers agreed to put ID wherever possible
Tip: Use ID to find element
How we ensured it?

Is last
row?
Yes
Yes
No
No, proceed to next row

In .NET, App.config with environment specific transformation.
For selenium, properties file for common configurations.
Bonus Tip: Rely on configurations
