Instead of CSS/XPath locators try to stick to visible keywords on page.</p> <p>Take a look into the next example:</p> <div class="language-js extra-class"><pre class="language-js"><code><span class="token comment">// it's fine but...</span>
<span class="token constant">I</span><span class="token punctuation">.</span><span class="token function">click</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token punctuation">{</span><span class="token literal-property property">css</span><span class="token operator">:</span> <span class="token string">'nav.user .user-login'</span><span class="token punctuation">}</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">;</span>
<span class="token comment">// can be better</span>
<span class="token constant">I</span><span class="token punctuation">.</span><span class="token function">click</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token string">'Login'</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span> <span class="token string">'nav.user'</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">;</span>
</code></pre></div><p>If we replace raw CSS selector with a button title we can improve readability of such test.
Even if the text on the button changes, it's much easier to update it.</p> <blockquote><p>If your code goes beyond using <code>I</code> object or page objects, you are probably doing something wrong.</p></blockquote> <p>When it's hard to match text to element we recommend using <a href="/locators#locator-builder">locator builder</a>. It allows to build complex locators via fluent API.
So if you want to click an element which is not a button or a link and use its text you can use <code>locate()</code> to build a readable locator:</p> <div class="language-js extra-class"><pre class="language-js"><code><span class="token comment">// clicks element <span class="button">Click me</span></span>
<span class="token constant">I</span><span class="token punctuation">.</span><span class="token function">click</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token function">locate</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token string">'.button'</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">.</span><span class="token function">withText</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token string">'Click me'</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">;</span>

Use <code>customLocator</code> plugin to easily add them to tests.</li> <li>Keep tests readable which will make them maintainable.</li></ul> <h2 id="page-objects"><a href="#page-objects" class="header-anchor">#</a> Page Objects</h2> <p>When a project is growing and more and more tests are required, it's time to think about reusing test code across the tests. Some common actions should be moved from tests to other files so to be accessible from different tests.</p> <p>Here is a recommended strategy what to store where:</p> <ul><li>Move site-wide actions into an <strong>Actor</strong> file (<code>custom_steps.js</code> file). Such actions like <code>login</code>, using site-wide common controls, like drop-downs, rich text editors, calendars.</li> <li>Move page-based actions and selectors into <strong>Page Object</strong>. All activities made on that page can go into methods of page object. If you test Single Page Application a PageObject should represent a screen of your application.</li> <li>When site-wide widgets are used, interactions with them should be placed in <strong>Page Fragments</strong>. This should be applied to global navigation, modals, widgets.</li> <li>A custom action that requires some low-level driver access, should be placed into a <strong>Helper</strong>. For instance, database connections, complex mouse actions, email testing, filesystem, services access.</li></ul> <blockquote><p><a href="/pageobjects">Learn more</a> about different refactoring options</p></blockquote> <p>However, it's recommended to not overengineer and keep tests simple. If a test code doesn't require reusage at this point it should not be transformed to use page objects.</p> <ul><li>use page objects to store common actions</li> <li>don't make page objects for every page! Only for pages shared across different tests and suites.</li> <li>use classes for page objects, this allows inheritace. Export instance of that classes.</li> <li>if a page object is focused around a form with multiple fields in it, use a flexible set of arguments in it:</li></ul> <div class="language-js extra-class"><pre class="language-js"><code><span class="token keyword">class</span> <span class="token class-name">CheckoutForm</span> <span class="token punctuation">{</span>
