Developing Hybrid Framework for Web Application using WebDriver, TestNG and Maven

Step-by-Step Approach

• Set up a Maven project with WebDriver and TestNG dependencies.
• Build Page Object classes for each screen of the application.
• Create a base test class for shared setup (browser launch, config loading).
• Add a data provider or external data reader (Excel/JSON) to supply test data.
• Write test classes using the page objects and data provider together.
• Configure testng.xml to organize and run the full suite.

Result

A structured, maintainable framework where adding a new test typically means adding a new page method or a new row of data, not rewriting core logic.
