Tests are written under ./tests/ folder.

Page objects are under ./pages/ folder.

The selenium standalone jar, chromedriver and geckodriver are placed under ./bin directory.

If new environment to be added, open nightwatch.json file and add a new environment under the test_settings object. For example, refer chrome.

Page object pattern

Each page object may contain the following items:

• sections - defines each sections in the corresponding page (For ex: header, footer, container).
• elements - each section will contain the elements object with the corresponding selectors. By default, we use css selector. If in case for any element, we want to use different selector, then you can override using locateStrategy. For example, refer checkbox1 element under container section in the checkboxes.js page file.
• commands - A page have custom commands which is more like an action that can be used directly in the test case. For example, navigating from one page to another page can be a custom command, logging in with the given user-credentials can be custom command of a particular page.
