Effective Test Automation using a Pattern Object Model

If a good developer can write bad code what is the guarantee that a tester with no coding experience can write good code? Having a bigger team of testers who have the characteristic of writing code can be pretty painful when the tester will change the team or even worst leave the company. Maintenance is difficult even when the tester is still on the team since he has duplicated the same logic in a huge amount of page objects which will be almost impossible to be refactored in a very short period of time. Pattern Object Model helped us to gain the trust of new clients by delivering automated tests on day one of the projects and regain the trust of existing clients by reducing the maintenance time.
