Hi. Is it possible to use the OR file in @FindBy or By statements to pull the locators without hard-coding them? i tried but I am getting Null Pointer exception. Eg: By username = By.xpath(OR.getProperty("usernamePath"));

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Hemendra, We should either use OR or Page Object Model because both are working in the same pattern. I generally recommend page object model kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZDMgXaKZqqHhZY

Hey Mukesh you did a Good work , very great video and i have a little confusion, i have seen your Page object model video also may i know the difference between POM and properties/configuration file both are same or different, if it is different in what context it is different please explain me and your videos are helping me a lot in my interviews keep doing these Thank you

[@Mukeshotwani]

+Siva rama krishna Ryali Hi Siva if you are not using POM then use property file as object repository. If you are using Page object model then use this Property file as configuration file.

oh ya got it Thankyou somuch Mukesh one more thing if we have developed POM for 3 or 4 pages of a web application how to pass the test data to all the pages if it is a hybrid frame work will it have 1 excel file or different..i am sorry with my doubts and i appreciate your patience in answering all the questions

[@Mukeshotwani]

You can use same workbook with multiple sheets. For login separate sheet and registration separate sheet and so on. For reading the data use Excel config which I have shown in data driven framework

I don't see how this is like QTP's (OR) Object Repository? It would have to have a file of WebElements with their locators and I did not see anything like that. Don't get me wrong, this is a very helpful video and I appreciate it, but this is not a QTP like OR at all.
