Importance of Wrapper Layer
summary
Explains the role of a wrapper layer in automation frameworks: it sits between imported libraries and project code to apply project-specific customizations and act as the single abstraction for library interactions. Describes benefits (lower maintenance, more reuse, fewer lines of code, and Single Point Change) and recommends that only the wrapper layer should call external libraries while page classes call wrapper methods, following the SPC principle.
