Services You deserve more from your test automation

After 9 years at Sauce Labs, I’m reflecting on what I’ve accomplished and what’s next.

Want to see what Selenium (Java) is doing under the hood?

An improved Selenium Logger now with driver support (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari & IE)

SeleniumLogger.enable();
ChromeDriverLogger.enable();

Change level, output, filters, formats & more!

Selenium 4.11 might be the most important release we've done in years

Selenium's driver management finally surpasses other solutions:
* uses Options class for browserVersion, proxy & binary
* looks in PATH
* logging & errors
* manages Chrome downloads!

Upgrade and let us know!

I recorded myself implementing a new #Selenium #Ruby feature. Probably not that interesting to most people, but I had fun with it, so I will probably do some more similar things in the future.

Pro tip: watch on 2x speed so I look smarter than I am
