The page object pattern is used in the context of web testing for abstracting the application's web pages in order to reduce the coupling between test cases and application under test. This paper reports on an industrial case study in a small Italian company (eXact learning solutions S. p. A.) investigating the potential benefits of adopting the page object pattern to improve the maintainability of Selenium WebDriver test cases. After a maintenance/evolution activity performed on the application under test, we compared two equivalent test suites, one built using the page object pattern and one without it. The results of our case study indicate a strong reduction in terms of time required (by a factor of about three) and number of modified LOCs (by a factor of about eight) to repair the test suite when the page object pattern is used.
