FrameSwitcher is a library that makes switching between frames easier. It allows switching frames automatically through annotations, keeps client code readable at a high level, and hides implementation details. The library is easy to include, use, and maintain while providing multithreading support. It works by using annotations, an aspect class, and a FrameSwitcher class to switch frames behind the scenes.

2. Agenda
Introduction and purpose
Usage
Implementation details
Future improvements

3. Switching frames
Using Page-Object pattern, there are several
ways of switching:
client code
inside pages
using facilitator classes

4. Purpose of creation
1. Switch to frame automatically
2. Easy way of usage in client code
3. Readable code on the highest level
4. Eliminate repeatable code (switch to frame -> switch to default content)
5. Necessity of having a way with marking actions by annotation
6. Hide all implementation details in order not to confuse end user
7. Have as less code as possible

5. Results
It’s a library. Just include it
and enjoy :)

6. Usage
just include it
annotate a proper method with
@RequireSwitchingToFrame annotation
specify how to switch
implement Driverable interface
invoke annotated methods in client code

7. Usage (including)
For more details, please check readme file

8. Usage
● Example of class describing a page
● Example of client code

9. Key features
Easy to include
Easy to use
Readable code
Easy to maintain
Multithreading support

10. Implementation
RequireSwitchingToFrame annotation
Aspect class
FrameSwitcher class
First implementation were based on reflection and required
extra methods. Current implementation is based on AOP
approach with using AspectJ

11. Plans to improvements
Add multilevel frame support
Make some modules better and informative
Testing infrastructure
