What if you can get best of both outsourced/crowd sourced and most advanced selenium technology? There has been lots of improvement in the world of testing from rather independent directions. While selenium community has been doing extremely well at improving the automation technology, there are hundreds of thousands of testers doing testing through crowd sourced testing or outsourced testing.
What if we can seamlessly combine both selenium technology with the crowd sourced testing. While selenium recorders are good at repeating the mundane tasks, they are terrible at ignoring harmless ui changes, crowd sourced testers can compensate the dumbness of recorders, pdiff can indeed detect the changes what even humans can miss. If we combine these three while advancing selenium technology, ui testing can be taken to the next stage.
If we can advance selenium recorders and make it a handy tool for testers, we can improve the efficiency and decrease the costs to significant extent.
