PageObject grows complex on a difficult page and becomes hard to read. Have you experienced this, and how did you deal with it?

Yes, PageObject can indeed grow and become difficult to maintain on complex pages. To combat this, I use several approaches:

  • Component Breakdown: Instead of a single large PageObject, I create separate classes for logical parts of the page (e.g., form, menu, table). The main PageObject aggregates these components.

  • Use of inheritance and base classes: Common methods and elements are placed in a base class, from which specific PageObjects inherit.

  • Clear structure and naming: I strictly adhere to naming conventions and structure to ensure the code is understandable and easy to read.

  • Encapsulation of logic: I try to keep interaction logic with elements inside the PageObject so that tests remain clean and simple.

  • Regular refactoring: I periodically review and optimize the PageObject, removing duplication and simplifying methods.

This approach helps keep test code clean, modular, and easy to extend.
