We're thinking of switching to webdriver

This page is based on the mozwebqa email conversation: selenium 2 + WebQA


Reasons to switch to webdriver:

  • selenium does not support hover, but the addons impala redesign will be making heavy usage of hover
  • selenium does not support mobile testing, webdriver does

Reasons why we've held back from switching to webdriver:

  • grid performance issues (now resolved...enough)
  • we use sizzle locators and will have to switch these to xpath before we can change our api
  • no support for native events on mac (key presses, click, etc.)
