Selenoid is an alternative lightning fast open-source Selenium protocol implementation running browsers and Android emulators inside Docker containers. It is distributed with a set of ready-to-use Docker images corresponding to the majority of popular browser versions, has a one-command installation utility and works slightly more efficiently than traditional Selenium Grid.

This tutorial shows how to build efficient and scalable browser automation infrastructure using Selenoid and related tools. You will be taught why running browsers in containers is so efficient, how to easily install Selenoid and use its powerful features.

Quality Assurance is an important term in the lifecycle of a software product. When it comes to QA, there are a lot of layers of testing which includes but not limited to Unit testing, Integration testing, UI testing. If we consider the test pyramid, although UI testing forms only a small percentage of the tests, it's an important factor in deciding the quality of the product. One of the main pain points in having a UI test is the execution time. To overcome this, we now have the tests that are executed in parallel. While designing a test infrastructure for executing the UI tests in parallel, there are a lot of factors that need to be considered. Some of them are

• Scalability
• Reliability
• Resource constraints

Taking into account the different tools which are available now in the market, one of the most efficient tool which satisfies the above criteria is "Selenoid"

Selenoid is a powerful Go implementation of original Selenium hub code. It is using Docker to launch browsers. One of the main advantages of selenoid is that its' lightning fast. Selenoid launches a new container for each new browser request and stops it after the session is closed. A certain browser version, the required version of the web driver which supports this browser and all necessary dependencies form each container. Selenoid also support most of the popular browsers such as Chrome, firefox etc.

This presentation will be to show case how to create a scalable selenoid infrastructure in AWS cloud with the help of kubernetes and this is being used at our fast growing startup based on Munich, Germany. We will also show case the comparison between different tools that are available in the market.

A key requirement for successful test automation is to get past the brittle or fragile nature of test scripts. Any Selenium (or Appium) developer has encountered the dreaded "NoSuchElement Exception". A locator that worked yesterday may fail today. What's a test engineer to do?

Fortunately the field of AI provides promising solutions and allows for the creation of self-healing tests. Tests that can find elements across all environments. Tests that can learn from "human-in-the-loop" intervention and work perfectly thereafter. Imagine automated tests that "just work"!

This session will look at how to apply the latest in AI and Machine Learning technologies to improve your test scripts. With the plethora of new open source AI libraries made available by companies such as Google, the ability to leverage AI in your applications is more accessible than ever.

This session will be a primer on AI technologies and how they can be utilized for perfect test automation.
