What is page factory in Selenium?

Question

Can anyone explain the page factory in Selenium?

Answer 1

PageFactory class is an extension to page object design that is used to initialize the Page object or instantiate the page objects itself. PageFactory helps to initialize the Page class elements without using FindElement() or FindElements(). Annotations for elements can be created to provide descriptive names of target objects that improve code readability. In short, Page Factory is a better way to create object repository in the Page Object Model concept.
