Abstarction in selenium code example
Example 1: method overloading in framework
Method overloading is providing
two separate methods in a class
with the same name but different arguments,
while the method return type
may or may not be different, which
allows us to reuse the same method name.
In my framework==
I use implicit wait in Selenium. Implicit wait
is an example of overloading. In Implicit wait
we use different time stamps such as SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS etc.,
A class having multiple methods with
same name but different parameters
is called Method Overloading
Example 2: how to use abstraction in your framework
I used in defining a common super class while writing POM layer of the framework
We usually create an abstract class named
BasePage to have all common members for every page written
in this class like getPageTitle().
Then each Page class (HomePage, LoginPage, DashboardPage
etc.) inherit from BasePage.
Sometimes one may need to change the behavior of methods
implemented in superclass. So, subclass has freedom to
override that method where we use polymorphism.
This is how we use Abstract class in real projects
