I’m in the middle of creating page objects in java for automated UI testing.

I’m in the middle of creating page objects in java for automated UI testing. I’m trying to follow the page object pattern and I’m wondering how a common part of the website falls into the paradigm? For instance the AUT has many different pages for running reports, the left pane for selecting a report, date ranges, filtering, etc is common for all pages. So should I create a different page object for this common area?

    Yes…The main aim of PageObjects are to represent repetitive parts of application, so through out your tests suite information of such repetitive part remains in single PageObject.

    PageObject need not represent an entire page. It may represent a section that appears many times within a site or page, such as site
    navigation.

    The essential principle is that there is only one place in your test suite with knowledge of the structure of the HTML of a particular
    (part of a) page.
