What is a design pattern?
- [Presenter] Imagine a project where every piece of code feels disorganized and chaotic like this image. Every update leads to more complexity. Without a clear structure, maintaining the code becomes a nightmare. This is where design patterns come in. They provide systematic solutions to common coding problems, allowing you to keep your code structured, efficient, and scalable over time. Think of your web application as a house under construction. Design patterns are like blueprints that guide every step of the process. Without blueprints, you could still build a house, but it wouldn't be as sturdy or efficient. In coding, these patterns ensure that your solutions are robust and adaptable. By using design patterns, you ensure that your code is not only functional but also maintainable. They solve common coding issues, make the code easier to update as your project grows. Without these patterns, future changes can become unnecessarily complex and time-consuming. In this course, we'll dive into several crucial design patterns used in Playwright, each one designed to make your test automation more maintainable and efficient. We'll cover the page object model, which organizes your test code and simplifies interaction with web elements, fixtures, which streamline test setup and tear down, behavior-driven development, which allows you to write tests in human readable format, and data-driven testing, a powerful approach to testing multiple scenarios with minimal effort.
