Test Design Best Practices

Page Object Model (POM)

Even with hierarchical locators, we recommend using the Page Object Model to encapsulate page actions.

class LoginPage:
    def __init__(self, driver):
        self.driver = driver

    def login(self, username, password):
        self.driver.load_locators('login')
        self.driver.find_element('username_field').fill(username)
        self.driver.find_element('password_field').fill(password)
        self.driver.find_element('login_button').click()

Atomic Tests

Keep tests small and focused on a single capability.

Clean Data Setup

Use the DatabaseManager to set up and tear down test data before and after execution.
