Next level of Front end testing with Devtools and WebDriver | Fathima Harris & Srinivasan Sekar

Chrome DevTools is one of the most useful web developer tools. It allows you to get comprehensive information about the page and requests and emulate mobile browsers on slow devices.

Some of the blockers which we faced with Webdriver was to automate:
Getting events from browser like when specific network call completed
Setting the fake geo-location from your WebDriver scripts
Updating the user-agent
Mocking the web response by intercepting the traffic
Simulating network bandwidth especially for Mobile Chrome

As our team had built a good number of a test case with user-journeys it was hard for us to move out of Webdriver and rewrite all our tests. So we decided to take the advantage of Chrome DevTools API which uses web socket communication and implements our Selenium WebDriver test to access all the API.

Outcome of the session:
We will demo about how you can use the power of DevTools in Selenium tests and how to make the debugging more convenient.
