selenium-page-factory
Python library provides page factory approach to implement page object model in selenium
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, supports current Python versions, and solves a real problem in Selenium test organization. Install friction is low with one dependency. MIT licensing carries no restrictions. Suitable for teams building or scaling Selenium test automation who want a structured page object pattern without heavy framework overhead.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a WebDriver instance (from selenium) and a target web application to interact with.
- Low friction install with a single runtime dependency (selenium).
- Actively maintained with a recent release 73 days ago and ongoing commits; supports modern Python versions 3.7–3.12.

What it is and what it does
selenium-page-factory provides a Python implementation of the page factory pattern, a structured way to organize Selenium test automation code. Instead of scattering WebDriver element locators throughout test code, you declare all page elements in a dictionary within a PageFactory subclass; the library then initializes them as class members with extended methods. Each extended method wraps standard Selenium operations with explicit waits, retry logic, and visual debugging (element highlighting). The package supports Selenium 4 ActionChains, Appium for mobile testing, and specialized operations like drag-and-drop, scroll-into-view, and click-with-retry to handle flaky tests.
It's designed for teams building maintainable Selenium test suites where page structure is centralized and reusable. You define a page class once, pass in a WebDriver instance, set optional timeouts and highlighting, and then call extended methods like set_text, click_button, or select_element_by_text on declared elements. The library handles visibility and clickability checks before acting, reducing boilerplate waits in test code.
Use it for
- Organize large Selenium test suites by centralizing page element locators and interactions in reusable page classes.
- Reduce flaky test failures by using built-in explicit waits and click-with-retry on elements before interaction.
- Automate web application testing with Appium support for both desktop and mobile test scenarios.
- Debug test failures faster by enabling element highlighting to see which elements are being interacted with.
- Manage complex multi-element interactions (lists, tables, dropdowns) with extended methods like get_list_item_count and select_element_by_text.
