webdriver is the selenium evolution, and this implementation is more developer oriented than users. This patch and effort are more a developer tool, where you write your tests then run them locally, or as Youssef showed on an external service, like the one offered by saucelab. One more advantage is that you can run a full scenario, as you would do with selenium. Embedding this kind of tests is like the unit test framework which is embedded in OFBiz. We are using external tools to reinforce the code quality. From my POV, having a web interface is making the interface tests mandatory. We are just going one step further in the global confidence. > > Even if not all users will use it, some have already their own way. > > The way I see it is that no one in the project community (nor from the > committer groups) asked for this implementation and very few ones showed > interest for this. > Who is using it in this community?
