📌 What is Page Object Model (POM)?

Page Object Model (POM) is a design pattern used in test automation where each screen of the application is represented as a separate class.

📱 Why Use POM in Appium?

• Separates UI logic from test logic
• Improves code reusability
• Easy maintenance
• Supports scalable automation frameworks
• Industry standard approach

📂 Sample Page Object Structure

src
 ├── pages
 │    ├── LoginPage.java
 │    ├── HomePage.java
 ├── tests
 │    ├── LoginTest.java
 ├── base
 │    ├── BaseTest.java

📌 Example: Page Class

public class LoginPage {

    @AndroidFindBy(id = "com.demo:id/username")
    private MobileElement username;

    @AndroidFindBy(id = "com.demo:id/password")
    private MobileElement password;

    @AndroidFindBy(id = "com.demo:id/loginBtn")
    private MobileElement loginBtn;

    public void login(String user, String pass) {
        username.sendKeys(user);
        password.sendKeys(pass);
        loginBtn.click();
    }
}
