Part 5: What is the purpose of Action Driver class in Framework ? | Complete setup step by step

Thank you for creating this channel!

Why can't we extend the base class and use the driver from base class in action driver class? Could you please explain.

[@AutomationTestingInsider]

If ActionDriver extends BaseClass, it mixes responsibilities, creates thread-safety issues in parallel tests, and makes the framework less reusable. Instead, use BaseClass for WebDriver setup and pass the driver to ActionDriver for actions, ensuring clean design and thread safety.

Sir: Can you explain "By by" -> public void enterText(By by, String value) { : where is "BY by" defined or coming from? This part is confusing,

[@AutomationTestingInsider]

By is a class ..and by is a variable.. we use it for locating the element. We can write like by.id or by.xpath or by.name to locate elements. You will understand better when you watch the page object model video which is the next video. From page classes we call all these action methods.
