I suppose Page Object Model Page Factory, which are two different things. 

But not sure how they are linked to Continuous Integration

[NareshKumar]

Usman,  Do you mean using POM ( Project Object Model) comes with Maven and Page Object pattern how do we integrate it ? and  what are the Advantages and Dis-Advantages ?

Answer is these two work in CI ( Continuous integration) but these are 2 different concepts all together.

Naresh Kumar,

No,the POM stands for "Page Object Model" which is the pattern to identify the objects used in the web page,some methods representing use case and page factory is used to initialized the page objects in the tests.

I am developing a framework in java using testNG and reading some data from excel sheet and then using the framework for CI.

Anyone,who has implemented the framework please share the difficulties faced.

I don't understand how Page Objects and CI are linked.

If you write stable and reliable tests, then you can implement them into a CI solution. Whether you followed Page Objects or not is immaterial.  BTW - I woudl definitely reccommend using Page Objects for all webdriver testing

"Stable tests" just means tests which stable; they don't  fail because of poor automation.  When they fail, you can be pretty sure it is an issue or change in teh system under test and not a problem with the test.

All automated tests shoudl be stable else they are not worth running.
