(Selenium project founder here.) Test maintenance cost is a sane thing to be worried about! Early on, there can be lots of code thrashing and UI changes. Better to keep the UI tests to a minimum at that stage - have them act more like smoke

#FunFact: I started the Selenium project. My first job out of college was at PeopleSoft. I left PeopleSoft and went "in-house" as the PeopleSoft admin at ThoughtWorks. A few years later, Selenium came out as a side-project for ano

It's a team effort! I'm more of a fan and advocate for the project these days.

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 t

When I founded my previous start-up, I used to describe my job as "professional creative play". I got some serious anger from a few employees about that description. So I stopped saying that's what I do, but it's exactly

The robot business isn't bad... Story for another day. But it's my first startup, the test automation SaaS business that's currently making the big $$. Literally any company with a web site or mobile app needs to test their s

As a founder of an SF tech company that now makes tens of millions of dollars a year, our revenue was never enough (or made fast enough) for the investors we talked to when we were raising our early rounds. Sometimes, if we made $X in 6 mon

I haven't done the math on this particular case, but I believe it is incorrect to say a UBI program will simply cost number-of-people multiplied by dollar-amount. Income tax would likely go up, too, so top earners will likely "giv

I've spent the last several years working with this scale of robot at my start-up. The practical use is mobile phone, tablet, and general touchscreen testing. In some products, such as automotive head unit displays or any medical devic

Do people there shrug off the risk? Or does it feel like they are generally aware of and have planned for it?

Those videos include an excellent reminder that statistically, you are very, very likely to survive the initial quake, therefore it's smart to stock up on 2 weeks of food and water, and to take a first aid training class.

Go back far enough in time (2004), and injecting an iframe into a third-party site is Selenium. I agree, using an iframe is a fun hack!

by hugs 7y ago
The irony is that the iframe approach is exactly how the first version of Selenium worked. It's a cool hack, but we abandoned that approach over time because automating iframes couldn't cover all automation use cases.

This is how the very first version of Selenium worked. The application under test was in an iframe, and the test controller was in the parent page. The Selenium "Remote Control" protocol was later added where the controller would

Could Selenium be used for this? It checks most of the boxes you mention.
