You said that you automated a lot and used patterns. What patterns did you use in automation?

The following patterns are often used in test automation:

• Page Object — to encapsulate the logic of interacting with page elements into separate classes. This improves readability and maintainability of tests.

• Singleton — to create a single instance of a driver or configuration to avoid conflicts and resource duplication.

• Factory — to create test data objects or elements depending on conditions.

• Builder — for convenient creation of complex test data objects with various parameters.

Example of the Page Object pattern in Python with Selenium:

class LoginPage:
    def __init__(self, driver):
        self.driver = driver
        self.username_input = driver.find_element_by_id('username')
        self.password_input = driver.find_element_by_id('password')
        self.login_button = driver.find_element_by_id('login')

    def login(self, username, password):
        self.username_input.send_keys(username)
        self.password_input.send_keys(password)
        self.login_button.click()

This approach simplifies support and code reuse.
