Build an automation framework... with a developer mindset
summary
Framework design shows concrete changes: Selenium plus custom wrappers and Selenium Grid run hundreds of tests while generating video recording of every test run and HTML/PDF/Excel reports via an abstract Report.generate/convertToFormat interface. Tests use page objects with private locators and public actions, a base Page.pageLoaded assertion reused across many pages, overridden logout for one odd page ID, and overloaded navigateToPage signatures. Test data lives in XML/JSON/CSV and utilities handle files, DB checks and API setup to cut maintenance.
