What is the Page Object Model (POM) in Selenium WebDriver?

The Page Object Model (POM) in Selenium WebDriver is a way to organize your test code. It treats each web page of your application as a separate class, which holds the elements (like buttons or text fields) and actions (like clicking or typing) related to that page.

Instead of directly working with the elements in your test, you interact with these page classes. This makes the test code simpler, easier to read, and easier to update. For example, if an element's location changes on a page, you only need to update it in the class, not in every test that uses it.
