# Flows in GitLab QA
Flows are frequently used sequences of actions. They are a higher level
of abstraction than page objects. Flows can include multiple page objects,
or any other relevant code.
For example, the sign in flow encapsulates two steps that are included
in every browser UI test.
```ruby
# QA::Flow::Login
def sign_in(as: nil)
Runtime::Browser.visit(:gitlab, Page::Main::Login)
Page::Main::Login.perform { |login| login.sign_in_using_credentials(user: as) }
end
# When used in a test
it 'performs a test after signing in as the default user' do
Flow::Login.sign_in
# Perform the test
end
```
`QA::Flow::Login` provides an even more useful flow, allowing a test to easily switch users.
```ruby
# QA::Flow::Login
def while_signed_in(as: nil)
Page::Main::Menu.perform(&:sign_out_if_signed_in)
sign_in(as: as)
yield
Page::Main::Menu.perform(&:sign_out)
end
# When used in a test
it 'performs a test as one user and verifies as another' do
user1 = Resource::User.fabricate_or_use(Runtime::Env.gitlab_qa_username_1, Runtime::Env.gitlab_qa_password_1)
user2 = Resource::User.fabricate_or_use(Runtime::Env.gitlab_qa_username_2, Runtime::Env.gitlab_qa_password_2)
Flow::Login.while_signed_in(as: user1) do
# Perform some setup as user1
end
Flow::Login.sign_in(as: user2)
# Perform the rest of the test as user2
end
```
