# What is?

* Page Object Model is a design pattern to create Object Repository for web UI elements.
* Under this model, for each web page in the application there should be corresponding page class.
* This Page class will find the WebElements of that web page and also contains Page methods which perform operations on those WebElements.
* Name of these methods should be given as per the task they are performing i.e., if a loader is waiting for payment gateway to be appear, POM method name can be waitForPaymentScreenDisplay().

**HOW TO USE**<br>

* Use POM for exposing elements from a page
* Use POM for exposing an operation on a page
