Designing a Robust Page Object Model (POM) for Cross-Browser and Cross-Platform Testing

Abstract

In the dynamic landscape of web and mobile application testing, ensuring that test automation frameworks are scalable, maintainable, and capable of supporting diverse environments is a critical challenge. The Page Object Model (POM) has emerged as a highly effective design pattern for addressing these concerns. This article explores advanced strategies and best practices for designing a POM that not only adheres to the principles of maintainability and scalability but also supports cross-browser and cross-platform testing. The strategies outlined here aim to ensure efficient, reliable, and streamlined test execution across varying environments. This approach involves leveraging a variety of techniques such as modularization, abstraction, parallel execution, and cloud-based tools. By following these methodologies, testing teams can maximize test coverage and performance, ultimately delivering high-quality software with confidence
