Hi Harbs, well it's not entirely not-broken ... that's why I brought it up.
Currently Infra seems to need to run the Jenkins Agents on windows in a way that is way less reliable. This is due to the fact, that selenium needs an interactive session to run the browser tests. If we were able to get rid of that, Infra could use the more stable way as a windows service. Also there's always quite a mess with keeping the webdriver version in sync with the used firefox version. This also seems to be no problem anymore with cypress.

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.
