Top 5 Challenges for Selenium Users (San Francisco Meetup)

August 26th, 2009 by John Dunham

The San Francisco Selenium Meetup group held a session at Twitter HQ earlier this month.  We asked attendees questions about their experience using Selenium, including:  rank the top challenges they face using Selenium.  The Top 5 Challenges for SF Selenium meetup users were, in order:

  • Test brittleness
  • Infrastructure maintenance
  • Test run-time duration
  • Documentation
  • Selenium Grid Instability

Bear in mind survey participants had just signed up to attend a talk about how to improve test creation efficiency and maintenance, so the ranking of first issue may reflect a non-random sample.

Scheduled Downtime on Saturday, August 15th

August 8th, 2009 by Steven Hazel

We’ll have some scheduled downtime next weekend for stability and performance improvements.  One major theme of this set of upgrades is the introduction of graceful upgrade paths for major components, to reduce the need for scheduled downtime in the future. We expect to be down for 4 hours beginning at 1 PM PDT (2000 UTC) on Saturday August 15th.
