Selenium Grid and Selenium

Selenium Grid

Is it worth switching to Selenium Grid?

Selenium Grid Benefits:

• for cross browsers, there are other options as well
• parallel testing

Latest version: 2.47 (2 people in the room use the latest version)

Ideas on using Selenium Grid with other configs:

• !Gradle
• SauceLabs / Keynote (Keynote costs more)
• transfer selenium tests to headless browser / api tests (e.g AngularJS, Protractor)
• Apache Mesos

Selenium Flaky Tests

Did anyone of us tried tracking the failures of a test and doing an analysis on that, such as to see the frequency of flakiness?

• custom JUnit runner to parse build results (and store in DB or just Logger)
• Atlassian Bamboo
• rerun failed tests

Selenium Fixing reds (failed tests)

One of the problems is that test builds are red and nobody seems to care... How to motivate people in fixing reds?

• measuring and visualizing
• ownership on tests
• set a smaller goal of the day
