#1. ABSTRACTION
Abstraction is the methodology of hiding the implementation of internal
details and showing the functionality to the users.

In Page Object Model design pattern, we write locators (such as id, name,
xpath etc.,) and the methods in a Page Class. We utilize these locators in tests
but we can’t see the implementation of the methods. Literally we hide the
implementations of the locators from the tests.

In Java, abstraction is achieved by interfaces and abstract classes. Using


interfaces, we can achieve 100% abstraction.

#2. INTERFACE
Basic statement we all know in Selenium is WebDriver driver = new
FirefoxDriver();

WebDriver itself is an Interface. So based on the above statement WebDriver


driver = new FirefoxDriver(); we are initializing Firefox browser using
Selenium WebDriver. It means we are creating a reference variable (driver) of
the interface (WebDriver) and creating an Object. Here WebDriver is
an Interface as mentioned earlier and FirefoxDriver is a class.

An interface in Java looks similar to a class but both the interface and class are
two different concepts. An interface can have methods and variables just like
the class but the methods declared in interface are by default abstract. We can
achieve 100% abstraction and multiple inheritance in Java with Interface.

#3. INHERITANCE
The mechanism in Java by which one class acquires the properties (instance
variables) and functionalities of another class is known as Inheritance.

We create a Base Class in the Automation Framework to initialize WebDriver


interface, WebDriver waits, Property files, Excels, etc., in the Base Class.

We extend the Base Class in other classes such as Tests and Utility Class.

Here we extend one class (Base Class like WebDriver Interface) into other class
(like Tests, Utility Class) is known as Inheritance.

#4. POLYMORPHISM
Polymorphism allows us to perform a task in multiple ways.

Combination of overloading and overriding is known as Polymorphism. We


will see both overloading and overriding below.

#1. METHOD OVERLOADING


We 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.,

Action class in TestNG is also an example of overloading.

Assert class in TestNG is also an example of overloading.

A class having multiple methods with same name but different parameters is
called Method Overloading
#2. METHOD OVERRIDING
We use a method which was already implemented in another class by
changing its parameters. To understand this you need to understand
Overriding in Java.

Declaring a method in child class which is already present in the parent class is
called Method Overriding. Examples are get and navigate methods of
different drivers in Selenium.

#5. ENCAPSULATION
All the classes in a framework are an example of Encapsulation. In POM
classes, we declare the data members using @FindBy and initialization of data
members will be done using Constructor to utilize those in methods.

Encapsulation is a mechanism of binding code and data (variables) together in


a single unit.

Other Selenium Automation Framework


Concepts
I would like to discuss some other topics which we use in Automation
Framework.

#1. WEB ELEMENT


Web element is an interface used to identify the elements in a web page.

#2. WEBDRIVER
WebDriver is an interface used to launch different browsers such as Firefox,
Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari etc.,

#3. FIND BY
FindBy is an annotation used in Page Object Model design pattern to identify
the elements.
#4. FIND ELEMENT
Find Element is a method in POM to identify the elements in a web page.
