Create Selenium WebDriver object using Singleton Java pattern

Hi Friends,

You must be knowing about the java patterns and it's advantage. In this post, I am going to create webDriver object using Singleton java pattern.

Singleton means to define a class that has only one instance and provides a global point of access to it.

Singleton class :

public class WebDriverSingleton {

private static WebDriver driver;

private static WebElement element;

private WebDriverSingleton() {

}

public static void initDriverInstance(Browsers browserName) {

 // code for init driver object

}

public static void openURL(String url){

// open url code

}

public static void quit() {

// code for quit driver

}

public static WebElement findElement(Locator locator, String value) {

// code for findElement 

}

// add all the other required method here

}

Test class :

public class Test_1 {

@BeforeClass

public void Setup() {

WebDriverSingleton.initDriverInstance(Browsers.CHROME);

WebDriverSingleton.openURL("http://newtours.demoaut.com");

}

@Test

public void TestCase_1() {

WebDriverSingleton.findElement(Locator.NAME, "userName").sendKeys("testuser");

WebDriverSingleton.findElement(Locator.NAME, "password").sendKeys("testpassword");

WebDriverSingleton.findElement(Locator.NAME, "login").click();

}

@AfterClass

public void killDriver() {

WebDriverSingleton.quit();

}

}
