Page objects

[des-des]

Page objects allow the user to create custom selectors and sequences of selenium commands for a particular page on the site. This allows us to keep the tests dry while keeping the namespacing the commands/selectors to a particular page.

This feature is quickly becomes useful as the size of the tests grows.

Finally got the page objects to work! I came across this project on my learning journey. Thought i would share my findings :)

The Idea is to have the elements of the page in different file so you can re-use it and if the element changes then we only have to fix at one spot and it'll fix for rest of your tests.

Test case - Go to the site, Assert Main Logo is working, Add a test user and Log out.

There will be Two files - tests.js (tests) & utils.js(elements)

Notice the correlation

In utils the function -
this.mainLogo = function () {
browser
.click('body > nav > a');
browser.assert.containsText('.style1>strong', 'Testing');
return browser;
};

In test the function to call -
utils(browser).mainLogo();

Hopefully this helps.. Thanks @nelsonic and team for a great project and helping others.
