Lightning Talks
summary
A rapid set of concrete takeaways: use XPath once to find a parent, add an ID and reference children instead of slow XPaths; inject JavaScript to grab table as 2D array or to bulk-fill inputs and determine visibility; run flaky Selenium commands in a separate thread with a join timeout and log inputs, outputs and screenshots (upload async). Tools and builds: Gondola: IDE-to-SauceLabs (one-line distribute), native WebDriver drivers for Android/iOS via an in-app server and instrumentation, a parallel NUnit runner with degree-of-parallelism and rerun-failures, and WaterGrid that boots ~50 EC2 browsers for distributed runs.
