In the JS world, there’s a new cool way of doing things every year or so.
My opinion on these things is “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. Why switch from Selenium if it works? If we have a good technical reason to change things, I’m, open to hear the arguments. Otherwise, it’s just going to waste all of our time… I definitely don’t want to add full browser testing as part of the testing of the framework build. It takes long enough as-is. There might be some value in adding a SEPARATE testing suite which tests multiple browsers, but I think we have a lot of work in increasing our UI test coverage before we even think about that.
