Continuous Testing
summary
Frameworks focus on cutting maintenance not runtime: Selenium plus WebDriver and Water get global wrapper waits and an act‑wait‑act strategy that first yields a 30% then another 20% speedup. Avoid Selenium IDE; prefer just‑in‑time data creation over brittle fixtures. Use Faker and WebDriver Manager, run on Sauce Labs, and push setup via REST APIs — splitting an address‑book flow drops a serial 3‑minute run to 1.5 minutes and with API shortcuts to 45 seconds.
