Resurrecting Selenium IDE

Open Source in Israel (10 min.)

Overt the past months I've been leading the development of the new Selenium IDE, https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium-ide. A browser extension that records user interaction, and is able to then play it back. This project is a resurrection of the old IDE which is no longer maintained, and was technologically eclipsed. I will talk about how we took an obsolete project, with over a million downloads in it's lifetime, and brought it back to life, with modern technology and toolchains.
