The wild wild west of Selenium capabilities

Not all desired capabilities where born equal:

– Some were born in the world of open source, while others were born as vendor proprietary properties.
– Some are mandatory, and some are optional.
– Some are clear and deterministic, others are vague and require reading and experimentation.
– Some make it easy to change vendors without breaking a sweat, while some will lock you into a specific implementation.

In this talk, I’ll explore the tradeoffs that a tester can make, and also explain the vendor point of view of the wild wild west of Selenium capabilities.
