Overview of this book

Selenium WebDriver is a global leader in automated web testing. It empowers users to perform complex testing scenarios with its simple and powerful interface. This guide will provide you with all the skills you need to successfully create a functional Selenium test suite. Starting from the very beginning of the Selenium IDE, this book will show you how to transition into a real programing language such as Ruby or Java. You will quickly learn how to improve your code quality with refactoring and the skills needed to plan for the future development of your website to future-proof your test suite. With ample test examples running against a life-like e-commerce store and detailed step-by-step code review and explanations, you will be ready to test any challenge web developers might throw your way. This book is intended for anyone who wants to create a test suite that is easy to maintain by expanding your knowledge until you feel truly confident and comfortable with Selenium.

"There are two ways of constructing a software design: one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."

 
 --C. A. R. Hoare

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is not a new concept in computer science. It has been around since the early 1950s and has been integrated into almost every modern programming language. Selenium WebDriver is written using OOP and we have been interacting with individual objects this whole time though you might not have realized it. Even though OOP offers a lot of advantages for the code base, which we will discuss later in this chapter, a lot of tests written in Selenium do not take full advantage of it.

We are ready to take the principles and design patterns discussed throughout this book and create a fully functional Page Objects framework. To accomplish this task, we will be covering...
