Overview of this book

This book is an incremental guide that will help you learn and use the advanced features of the Selenium toolset including the WebDriver API in various situations to build a reliable test automation. You start off by setting up the test development environment and gain tips on the advanced locater strategy and the effective use of the Selenium WebDriver API. After that, the use of design patterns such as data - driven tests and PageFactory are demonstrated. You will then be familiarised with extending Selenium WebDriver API by implementing custom tasks and setting up your own distributed environment to run tests in parallel for cross-browser testing. Finally, we give you some tips on integrating Selenium WebDriver with other popular tools and testing mobile applications. By the end of this book, you will have learned enough to solve complex testing issues on your own.

Using the LoadableComponent class


We can implement the objects of the Page Object model using the LoadableComponent class of Selenium WebDriver. This helps in building a robust Page Object that provides a standard way to ensure that the page is loaded and that the page load issues are easy to debug.

In this recipe, we will further refactor the BmiCalcPage class created in the previous recipes and extend it as a loadable component.

Getting ready

This recipe uses the BmiCalcPage class created in the previous recipe.

How to do it...

To implement an object of the Page Object model as the LoadableComponent class, we need to extend it from the LoadableComponent base class, as shown in the following example:

package com.secookbook.examples.chapter08.pageobjects;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.PageFactory;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.LoadableComponent;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;

public class BmiCalcPage...
