Péter Földházi Jr – Flow Model vs Page Object Pattern
Speech bullet points:
The Page Object Pattern is widely known and used amongst Test Automation Engineers
It allows engineers to model the application for their tests, reusing certain elements, making the test solution more structured and hence decreasing maintenance cost and the learning curve of test automation
For some, Page Object is not intuitive though
From a tester’s point of view, it could be improved
Moreover, it breaks the Single Responsibility principle, which has been one of its most criticized flaws
Etc.
