Selenium is a great tool for testing web applications, but it can be very unstable and slow. This is why in the Groupon we use Jasmine to unit test our JavaScript separately from the whole web application. In this talk I will demonstrate why moving some of the Selenium tests into Jasmine can improve the stability of the build and speed of the build while testing the JavaScript more in-depth.
