Winium design pattern

Question

I am using winium C# to test my desktop tool. I have currently placed all my action methods in one class and just reusing those methods in the tests. I want to know what design pattern can i use ?

Answer 1

You can use the same structure as selenium. In selenium, mostly Page Objects pattern will be followed. Just here we will use forms instead of web pages For desktop app, Create a structure according to your forms.

1.A Test class for each form - Write form related tests. (Access your action methods from helper class)

2.A Helper class for each form -Write your action methods. (Access your form elements from Form Object class)

3.A Form Object class to store all your form elements. (Access Ids,Names of elements from constants file)

4.A Constants class for your automation properties like ID and Names. (Store all the Ids and access the paths of application from App.config file)

5.App config file -Store Application paths and file paths.

6.A Data folder to store files if any.

Hope this helps!
