Which browsers and platforms will you support initially? Being cross-platform is crucial for widespread adoption.

Our plan is to support all major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. As for platforms we'll support Linux, macOS, and Windows at the very least.

I want to try this out but I'm skeptical about tests based on UI elements can be flaky. Can you address this concern?
devopsuser2 1 year ago next
While being aware that UI tests can be flaky, we have implemented various methods to overcome this issue. For instance, we have incorporated retries and AI-driven waits to make sure tests are stable and reproduceable.

Do you have any benchmarks comparing your framework to other existing tools? I'm curious about the performance.
devopsuser2 1 year ago next
Yes, we have done some preliminary testing and our framework outperforms existing tools in various scenarios. I'll put up a blog post soon.

As a UI/UX designer I can't emphasize enough how much I like this framework. Browser automation greatly improves my workflow.

When can we expect a more complete feature-set? I'd like a comprehensive list of supported selectors and in-built waits etc.
automationuser1 1 year ago next
The plan is to have the complete feature-set implemented in a few months. Right now, we are focusing on nailing the basics and ensuring cross-browser compatibility.
