Being a mainstream and widely used browse automation tool Selenium protocol however still lacks many important features: network requests analysis, application performance profiling, accessibility tree access and many more. Hopefully all of them are already supported in so called Chrome Developer Tools protocol and which is more important this protocol is already supported in Selenoid - an extremely efficient Selenium solution running browsers in isolated Docker containers. In this talk I will tell you what is Chrome Developer Tools protocol, how it works, what are its powerful features and how to use the most important features of this protocol in different browsers being run remotely and in parallel.

Browser tests are known to be the flakiest ones. This is partly because browser infrastructure is complicated to maintain. But the second reason is – mainstream browser automation tools such as Selenium server are far from being efficient.

During my previous talks I was speaking about Selenoid - a truly efficient replacement of the standard Selenium server. This year I would like to do a live demonstration how to organize a fault-tolerant and easily scalable Selenium cluster using virtual machines in the cloud. I will start by setting up Selenoid and show its powerful features like video recording, live tests debugging, manual testing and many more. Then I will configure Selenoid to send logs and recorded videos to S3-compatible storage. Finally we will run a Ggr load balancer instance allowing to use all running Selenoid nodes and organize a single entry point to the cluster.

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.

Mobile platforms nowadays give more than a half of the worldwide Internet traffic. Being the most widespread platform, Android is slightly more difficult to work with from test automation perspective than traditional desktop browser automation. Last autumn in Berlin I have shown Selenoid - an open-source Selenium protocol implementation that dramatically simplifies working with Selenium for desktop browsers. In this talk I would like to demostrate how it is possible to have the same experience on Android platform for mobile application and mobile web testing.
