Topic: The Screenplay Pattern: Better Interactions for Better Automation

Abstract: For the past decade, the Page Object Model has reigned as the primary design pattern teams use for automating Web UI interactions. Unfortunately, it has serious weaknesses that lead to duplicative and often unsafe code. It’s time for our industry to come up with a better way. The Screenplay Pattern is a much better way to automate interactions. It provides a natural separation of concerns that enables testers to write better tests with less code. In this talk, I’ll introduce the Screenplay Pattern using Boa Constrictor, the .NET Screenplay implementation. We will write a basic Web UI test in C# using Boa Constrictor to demonstrate how it works.
