So far, we have only looked at examples where a page object has been used to describe a whole page. Unfortunately, in the real-world web pages that we want to automate are usually much larger, and more complicated, than the examples you find in a book. So, how are we going to deal with large complicated pages while keeping our test code well factored and readable? We are going to break things down into manageable chunks.
