Selenium: Page Object Model
About
This module introduces learners to the Page Object Model (POM)—a popular design pattern that improves the structure, readability, and maintainability of Selenium test suites. Students will learn how to abstract UI interactions into reusable page classes, reducing duplication and making tests more resilient to UI changes. By the end of the session, learners will refactor an existing procedural Selenium test into a POM-based design and understand when and why to apply this approach in real-world projects.
