Use the power of design patterns to solve different software automation related problems - Python

List of design patterns covered for automation testing

Hide bad APIs behind better ones
Automation related: represent each page (including elements and action over them) of an application as an object

Targeted app: https://www.youtube.com
Implement base page:
- Currently supported:
  - open/quit the browser
  - wait for elements to be visible
- Feature methods:
  - generic validator
  - different clicks
Each new page created will extend the base class
Implement a search for a video as example:
- enter a string to query e.g. Python
- click on search button
- filter result list based on a keyword e.g. Python
- select the video found based on this query
In tests section, under page_object_pattern package, two tests are performed:
- a simple one to perform the wait for element action from base class
- a search flow
- note that from now on the test implementation is hidden in a specific page;
- to perform some tests, you just have to call different page specific methods

###Summery

###Example

The entire definition of the object class is encapsulated in the builder class:
- The outer class exposes a method that returns the instance of the inner class.
Design a class that handles the instantiation.
- Inject the definition of the desired class in the singleton factory and the factory is responsible for returning the same instance.
