Products that do what Chrome headless support without selenium for Mink and Behat does

I wrote a mink driver which communicates directly with chrome over the devtools protocol, allowing you to control chrome without selenium. With chrome 59+ you can also eliminate the need for xvfb by running it headless. Our behat suite of 1800 scenarios and 19000 steps takes just over 60 minutes to run in Chrome 58 with selenium and xfvb. With chrome 60 headless it takes less than 18 minutes. https://gitlab.com/DMore/chrome-mink-driver Any feedback and contributions would be greatly appreciated.

    Helium - Simple web automation▲48

    Hi everyone, I'm working for a startup called BugFree Software and would love to hear your feedback on a new product we are launching today. Helium is a library that wraps around Selenium to simplify web automation. It does away with many of the technicalities involved with web scripting. For example: Here is a Selenium script. Can you guess what it does? >>> ff = Firefox() ... >>> text_area = ff.find_element_by_id("u_0_1q") >>> text_area.send_keys("Hello World!") >>> button = ff.find_element_by_class_name("_42g-") >>> button.click() Here is the same script rewritten using Helium: >>>…
