Implementing the Page Object model in Ruby using the page-object gem

While developing tests in Ruby, we can use the page-object gem to implement the Page Object model within the tests. The page-object gem provides simple features with which to build the objects of a Page Object, along with Watir WebDriver.

In this recipe, we will see how to use the page-object gem to implement the Page Object model for the BMI Calculator's main page.

Getting ready

You need to download and install the page-object gem with the help of the following command:
