9.  Abstracts HTML element’s selenium locators and its
selenium methods into a single class
◦ Example: Radio, Checkbox, Textbox classes etc.
◦ Uses Selenium locators in the constructor
class CheckBox():
def check(self): //call to selenium method
def un_check(self): //call to selenium method
def is_check(self): //call to selenium method
 Added benefit: improves code readability

10.  Allows us to customize widget operations
◦ Setter and getter methods to HTML element classes
To check a checkbox cb1, use cb1.set_value(true)
To enter text into a textbox tb2, use tb2.set_value(“testing”)
 Allows us to expand the types of elements
◦ Form class that can perform user operations such as filling a web
form
◦ Table class that has methods to handle complex, heterogeneous and
dynamic tables

14.  Some page are common among products
 Automated around 50 test cases
◦ Low development cost
 Data-driven tests: 50tests =>90 tests
 Target three products: 50 tests => 90*3 = 270 tests
 Target three browsers: 50 tests => 270*3 = 810 tests
 Net ROI: 50 tests => 810 tests
