As the founder of one of the screen-scraping tools he alluded to in the video (Selenium), I just want to say the video has one of the best explanations for the difference between automating a process through a user interface vs an API. In the end, entropy always gets you, but you can push it off a little bit longer if there's an API.
- Madmallard 7y agoThank you for your work sir. I love Selenium.
- hugs 7y agoIt's a team effort! I'm more of a fan and advocate for the project these days.
- thatguyagain 7y agoAmazing work!
- Mandatum 7y agoIntroducing Selenium to testing teams has been a complete game-changers for a lot of organisations I work with. Often traditional orgs will assume you can't automate front-end testing because it requires a user to go through all of these processes in different front-end SaaS apps. It's literally saved hundreds of man-hours across the organisations I've introduced it to and allowed the project teams to focus on features and reporting instead of testing. Thank you!
- azemetre 7y agoI got my first job in software writing selenium code, your library literally changed my and my family's life. Your work has had a huge impact in my career and life.
- joshfraser 7y agoI love and use Selenium all the time. Thank you!
- Der_Einzige 7y agoSelenium is awesome, but the browser GUI for it in Firefox seemed to... Regress heavily from where it was a few years ago? It used to allow you to export a script as any type of code and now that's no longer possible. The newer gui based tools have maybe a fraction of the features that the selenium GUI used to have What happened?
- mav3rick 7y agoThank you for Selenium. I recently used it to parse some hotel data for Covid.
