For developers and QA engineers, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are a game of watching how much weight the ice can take before it cracks. Learn how uptime goes beyond performance testing, and what you can do to prepare for the worst. In the United States, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. For many of us, this serves as a chance to see family, play some football, and stuff ourselves with an unholy amount of food.

Improve how you stay up-to-date on the latest browser drivers. With shorter release cycles, it can be difficult to keep drivers in sync with browser versions. Selenium Manager automatically configures the browser drivers for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

So you’re already convinced that automated testing can transform the software development lifecycle and help produce higher-quality products. But convincing management it’s a worthwhile investment? Especially if they're hesitant to add technology they don’t understand to a tight budget? That's a different story. We've got you. Here are 10 rock-solid reasons why your organization needs a budget for automated testing.

Ever wonder where Selenium (the testing framework, not the mineral) came from? Here’s a short history of the technology. Ever wonder where Selenium came from?
