Selenium at the Speed of Light Turbocharging Your Test Execution - John Hill Modern test automation with Selenium can be a double-edged sword: powerful yet often hampered by performance bottlenecks. In this hands-on session, we’ll dive deep into optimizing Selenium test execution by tackling one of the biggest culprits: network overhead. Using a real-world application and demo setup—including a frontend, HTTP API backend, browser container, and test execution container—we’ll illustrate how network latency impacts speed and stability. You’ll learn to identify and address network dependencies within CI/CD pipelines, significantly enhancing test performance and reliability. Beyond performance gains, we’ll explore how these improvements foster more stable and predictable tests, reducing frustrating flakiness.
