Introduction

Large test suites can be structured to optimize ease of authoring and maintenance. Page object models are one such approach to structure your test suite.

A page object represents a part of your web application. An e-commerce web application might have a home page, a listings page and a checkout page. Each of them can be represented by page object models.

Page objects simplify authoring by creating a higher-level API which suits your application and simplify maintenance by capturing element selectors in one place and create reusable code to avoid repetition.

Implementation

Page object models wrap over a Playwright Page .

models/SearchPage.java

package models;import com.microsoft.playwright;public class SearchPage {  private final Page page;  private final Locator searchTermInput;  public SearchPage(Page page) {    this.page = page;    this.searchTermInput = page.locator("[aria-label='Enter your search term']");  }  public void navigate() {    page.navigate("https://bing.com");  }  public void search(String text) {    searchTermInput.fill(text);    searchTermInput.press("Enter");  }}

Page objects can then be used inside a test.

import models.SearchPage;import com.microsoft.playwright.*;// ...// In the testPage page = browser.newPage();SearchPage searchPage = new SearchPage(page);searchPage.navigate();searchPage.search("search query");
