+# 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
+```
