How not to flip the table using Selenium BiDi

Talk Description

Browser test automation frameworks play a key role in web application tests. These frameworks need to be user-friendly, feature rich and reliable. But how can we do that?

This presentation focuses on some of the new Selenium Bidirectional Protocol features which are currently available. The talk also shares some information and tips how to approach implementing these features into an existing Selenium based test automation framework.

This is a new talk which is based on my bachelor thesis on the current state of Selenium Bidi which I wrote in 2024.
