   Jeremy,

   I have seen examples of defining functions in python and the functions are called directly from a test in Robot. What I want is to follow the page object design concept where a page for example, home page is more like a class and the services offered by this page ex., login is a method within that class. In typical programming I would have a main that would instantiate an object of this class and access the services/methods within the class. Unable to relate on how I would integrate this with Robot framework. I could have these classes within a package and import them using the "ADD Library", But how would I instantiate the objects of classes. I figure I could have a function that incorporates instantiating the objects and then associate that with the test in robot framework. Am I on the right path ? or is there a more efficient way to do this ?

   Appreciate your help and sorry if this too basic a question. I did look up some blogs before posting the question here.

   Mamatha,

   Here are a couple more examples of using page objects with robotframework

   • Sample page object code by Adam Goucher

   • "Using the Page Object Pattern with Robot Framework" by Tony Sweets
