At Google, we launch millions of browsers per day for automated tests, using Selenium/WebDriver. This poses a large number of problems, and yet the problems are the same those faced by any Selenium user, simply magnified. Random failures, slowness, differences between browsers, weird JavaScript, unrepeatable failures, difficult to interpret results, and more. I will talk about the problems we have faced running huge numbers of Selenium tests, and how we have overcome them.
