Have you used the Factory pattern for creating objects in your projects?

Yes, the Factory pattern is often used for creating objects, especially when the creation process is complex or depends on conditions. In QA Automation, it can be used, for example, to create various configurations of test data or Page Object objects.

Example: a factory that creates different types of test users in automation:

class UserFactory:
    @staticmethod
    def create_user(user_type):
        if user_type == "admin":
            return User(role="admin", permissions=["all"])
        elif user_type == "guest":
            return User(role="guest", permissions=["read"])
        else:
            return User(role="user", permissions=["read", "write"])

# Usage
admin_user = UserFactory.create_user("admin")

This approach simplifies creating objects with different parameters and improves code maintenance.
