Paul Hammant's Blog: A different style of Fluent Selenium tests

Kevin Dishman is ThoughWorks’ QA lead for a client I “rolled off” a few days ago. He prefers a different style of Java + Page-Objects for Selenium2/WebDriver codebases. Thus he switched the foundational tests I’d written before his arrival to be more like the style he prefers. I’ve paralleled that change in the public Fluent-Selenium examples project: github.com/paul-hammant/fluent-selenium-examples.

A second branch

The second branch, for better or for worse, is called “more_typesafe” -> github.com/paul-hammant/fluent-selenium-examples/tree/more_typesafe

The gist of that is:

There are pros and cons to both I think.
