Constant Class for Browser Driver

Is there any method to make a global class for browser driver in selenium, so i can use this class to initialize driver in each test instead of repeating same method everytime ?

This method what i want to share between tests for once :

FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.SetPreference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", false);
options.AcceptInsecureCertificates = true;
driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

You can create a method in the helper class as below.

public static class BrowserConfigurationHelper

public static IWebDriver GetDriver()

FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.SetPreference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", false);
options.AcceptInsecureCertificates = true;
var driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

return driver;




In Each Test method, you can simply call the GetDriver method to do the driver initialization as below

var driver = BrowserConfigurationHelper.GetDriver();


To make a class available anywhere, use the method signature

public static class CommonTestFunctions
...


The public access modifier will allow any object or class access to your class, just put your functions that you use many times in test methods into that class and use it like:

public

//CommonTestFunctions class
public FireFoxOptions InitFireFoxOptions();

FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.SetPreference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", false);
options.AcceptInsecureCertificates = true;
driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();


//test method
var fireFoxOptions = CommonTestFunctions.InitFoxFoxOptions();
