9.7Key Takeaways
- POM separates locators and interactions (page objects) from verification (tests)
- One class per page; locators in the constructor; methods represent user actions
- No assertions inside page objects — tests decide what to verify
- Playwright's locator API makes page objects simpler than Selenium equivalents (no explicit waits in every method)
- Use component objects for reusable UI elements (header, footer, modals)
- If a locator changes, update one place — not every test
