navigateToConnectorsAndOpenConnectorsDetails -> navigateToConnectorsAndOpenDetails here u can also reuse created navigateToConnectors() navigateToSchema -> navigateToSchemaRegistry navigateToSchemaAndOpenSchemaDetails -> navigateToSchemaRegistryAndOpenDetails here u can also reuse created navigateToSchema() seems here u forgot to use navigateToTopics() Fixed. Fixed. Fixed. Fixed. Fixed. Fixed navigateToSchemaRegistryAndOpenSchemaDetails -> navigateToSchemaRegistryAndOpenDetails use here also verifyEnabledElements() use at 89 line also verifyVisibleElements() suggest to update verifyElementsCondition() and reuse here let's merge this two methods by using Condition as an argument Fixed. Fixed. Fixed. Fixed. Fixed. getAllMenuButtons() list should be visible and enabled at same time
just add it in 16 and 17 line Fixed.
[e2e] Create method with common steps inside test classes
Almost every test in concrete class starts from the same steps. In case they aren't main goal of those tests let's create private void method with Step annotation containing common steps and reuse it.
