So, I'm still on my journey back into becoming a Software Test Engineer (expert) and geesh, there's a lot to catch up on.
Today, I'm looking into creating a Test Framework with Selenium.
I googled on "selenium creating test framework" to see results and learn.
Why?
First, let's answer why I'm researching this topic. I am able to create test scripts using Selenium and my test are passing. However, as I'm creating a test suite and adding more tests, I find myself using the same code for multiple @Test. I'd like to reduce the code, use wrappers around Selenium's code, and condense my @Test to be specific on focusing on the test case. This also helps with test script maintenance. For instance, if I need all of my test scripts to navigate to their corresponding page (add form -> New Form, edit form -> Form, etc). Then, I realize I need the User to click OK to a dialog just implemented before displaying any form. I don't want to have to check this code for each test script in each @Test.

Article(s) I read.

Not very useful, unless going to author's course.

I like the breakdown on this author's GitHub and see it's practical use. So, I decided to implement this same framework.
Pattern Insights
Since I'm using the PageObject pattern, this was very helpful to know.
