The article presents a platform for automated web application testing based on an object-oriented approach using C#. The platform is designed for scalable and flexible testing of web applications, supporting both UI and API testing capabilities. The main system components are described and analyzed in terms of their functionality and role in automation. The structure and interaction of components are examined in detail, highlighting efficient browser driver management, test environment configuration, and the collection and processing of test data. A distinctive feature is the use of the singleton pattern for browser driver management and support for cross-browser testing, allowing validation of web applications across different platforms. The platform also supports dynamic configuration and extensibility through configuration files and centralized parameter management. The system provides convenient mechanisms for locating web elements and their collections and extends functionality for API integration testing and working with the browser's local storage. The platform is geared toward automating both scenario-based and utility testing, contributing to an effective approach to verifying the functionality and stability of web applications.
