## Overview

This is a small Selenium UI-testing example using the Page Object Model. The documented workflow runs pytest tests that navigate to DuckDuckGo, perform a search, and check that results appear. The sampled SearchPage implements navigation and search/result waiting; BasePage wraps basic WebDriver operations, and locators define the page selectors. The README also documents configurable browser preferences, but the configuration wiring and test implementation were not sampled, so those links remain unverified.

Main entry points: [`pages/search_page.py`](https://github.com/christianaa/selenium-python-example/blob/main/pages/search_page.py) (Search page), [`pages/base_page.py`](https://github.com/christianaa/selenium-python-example/blob/main/pages/base_page.py) (Base page), [`tests/test_search.py`](https://github.com/christianaa/selenium-python-example/blob/main/tests/test_search.py) (Pytest tests), [`data/config.yaml`](https://github.com/christianaa/selenium-python-example/blob/main/data/config.yaml) (Browser preferences)
