Customizing Custom library methods

In last post of Refactoring custom methods of control libraries, we discussed how to

• Reduced number of parameters
• Strongly-typed parameters
• More reusable

In this post, we will discuss reducing the number of parameters even further to more granular level after the introduction of Page Object Model in our code, please read my previous post for more details on POM Here is the complete video for the above discussion Here is the complete code Set Methods for controls like Textbox, Button, DropDownList box.

    //Enter text in the Textbox
    public static void EnterText(IWebElement element,string value)
    {
            PropertiesCollection.driver.FindElement(By.Id(element)).SendKeys(value);

    }

    //Click into a button, Checkbox, option etc
    public static void Click(IWebElement element)
    {
            PropertiesCollection.driver.FindElement(By.Name(element)).Click();
    }

    //Selecting a drop down control
    public static void SelectDropDown(IWebElement element, string value)
    {
            new SelectElement(PropertiesCollection.driver.FindElement(By.Name(element))).SelectByText(value);
    }

Get Methods for controls like Textbox and DropDownList box

    public static string GetText(IWebElement element)
    {
            return PropertiesCollection.driver.FindElement(By.Name(element)).GetAttribute("value");
    }

    public static string GetTextFromDDL(IWebElement element)
    {
            return new SelectElement(PropertiesCollection.driver.FindElement(By.Name(element))).AllSelectedOptions.SingleOrDefault().Text;
    }
