Things are about to get interesting. In the next month or so, we're
going to start down the road to Selenium 2.0 properly. Here's a quick
FAQ, but I'm happy to answer any other questions that I've missed out
of here. :)
* Selenium 2.0?
It's the merging of the Selenium and WebDriver projects. Called "Selenium 2"
* What about my tests using webdriver?
They can stay exactly as they are. The package and class names aren't
going to change, even when the merge is complete. If you're using
webdriver now, you'll be able to continue using it in the future.
We're also keen to keep the API clean and tight, so you can expect
stability there too.
* What about my tests using selenium?
The same thing applies. Just keep doing what you're doing now, and
we'll keep things stable.
* Why are the projects merging?
Partly because webdriver addresses some shortcomings in selenium (by
being able to bypass the JS sandbox, for example. And we've got a
gorgeous API), partly because selenium addresses some shortcomings in
webdriver (such as supporting a broader range of browsers) and partly
because the main selenium contributors and I felt that it was the best
way to offer users the best possible framework.
* What's going to happen?
Unless you're a developer interested in the source of either selenium
or webdriver (that is, you've checked webdriver out of subversion) the
first steps won't appear to be much: we're just going to be merging
the hosting of the source trees into the same subversion repository.
* And then?
Good question :) At some point, there's going to be a new Google Group
for use by the combined project, and we'll be merging issue tracking
too. We'll be sending out emails and making sure there's plenty of
time for the switch over to happen, and we're not going to do anything
drastic.
I'm really looking forward to this.
Cheers,
Simon
