In this blog we are going to talk about how to use Page Object Model to arrange your page UI elements in your test. Page object Model is a design pattern used  to create  Object Repository  for web UI elements  in test automation. Page object Model is used heavily in selenium but its is a good practice to use it in Telerik framework because we don't get a pre populated DOM  like in Telerik test studio. Actually we are using a modified Page Object Model in here, Lets take a login scenario as an example Login Page With out using Page object model the login script will look like this HtmlInputText Uname = myManager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ById("username").As<HtmlInputText>(); HtmlInputText Pass = myManager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ById("password").As<HtmlInputText>(); HtmlInputButton login = myManager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ById("loginbutton").As<HtmlInputButton>(); myManager.ActiveBrowser.Actions.SetText(Uname, "User...

Usually in automation there is a golden rule not to automate changing requirements that is because if you do that  the ROI that you are gaining from your automation suite is very little. but what if your elements in your automation application is changing?  Are you not going to automate it? The answer is NO!! If you are automating an application with dynamic ID generation look very closely at the changing IDs. If you check one element from different browsers you will see that there is always a static part  for the IDs but a dynamic part is added to the static ID to generate an unique ID to the element. This could happen if you're automating an application which uses a mechanism to generate webpages like Episever, Sitecore, Crownpeak, Kentico. In all these systems there is a underlined webpage generation method so this might generate elements with dynamic IDs Example: Imagine your login button has a dynamic ID :  relateLoginbtn_Ctl012 if yo...
