Advanced Design Patterns in Test Automation: Building on the Basics
In my previous article, we covered five foundational design patterns — Page Object Model (POM), Factory, Singleton, Strategy, Decorator, and Command Patterns — that form the backbone of a well-structured test automation framework. If you haven’t had a chance to explore these yet, you can check out that article here.
Building on those basics, this article will delve into additional design patterns that can further enhance your test automation strategy. These patterns bring extra flexibility, scalability, and efficiency, helping tackle more complex testing needs as your framework grows. Whether you’re dealing with intricate data handling, dynamic test setups, or need extra layers of reusability, these advanced patterns have you covered.
In this article, we’ll dive into the Template Pattern, Observer Pattern, Chain of Responsibility Pattern, and Adapter Pattern. As always, we’ll break down each pattern with easy-to-follow explanations and relatable analogies so you can quickly see how to integrate them into your automation toolkit.
Let’s dive into these next-level design patterns and continue building a comprehensive and robust test automation framework!
