What is the Page Object Model and Page Factory?

Page Object Model (POM) is a design pattern, prevalently employ in test mechanization that creates an Object storehouse for web UI elements. It is a method to analytically sort out the scripts in such a way that it makes it effortless for the QA to uphold the code, free of hassles. And to help prevent redundant or duplicate code. The advantage of this model is that it reduces code duplication and develops test maintenance making it more readable, and reusable.

The Page Object Pattern using Page Factory can be made non-frail test code. It helps to reduce and further abolish the replica test code. Besides that, the page factory is useful in improving readability making it easier to create interface documentation.
