Everything you want to know about Page Object design pattern (Mikalai Alimenkou, Ukraine), part 1
summary
Shows how to refactor raw Selenium WebDriver tests in Java into structured Page Objects: consolidating duplicated findElement calls into page methods, keeping locators with their page, and returning other page objects to model navigation. Demonstrates PageFactory initialization, explains when extracting elements improves robustness versus when it needlessly complicates tests (avoid hoarding single-use locators), and reviews real-world benefits, failure modes, and commonly reused libraries/patterns.
