Summary

This summary provides an overview of writing resilient test code using Selenium. The key points covered are the importance of using high-quality locators to write reliable tests, and how explicit waits can help overcome timing issues with dynamic pages. A page object is created to encapsulate the logic for a dynamic loading page, which includes methods to start the process, wait for the finish text to appear, and check if an element is displayed. The example demonstrates how to use this page object in tests to ensure that the test passes even when dealing with dynamic elements. By using explicit waits, the tests become more robust and can handle varying loading times without throwing exceptions.
