When I think of automation tests, I think pain. Cumbersome tooling, hackish test frameworks.<p>The HTML5 dev environment, plus some virtual machines to run the tests in, might fix some of the longstanding issues and make automation tests palatable. We'll see.<p>The fluent syntax to write the tests looks nice as well.<p>Of course, the proof is in the pudding; one can glean only so much from a demo video. We'll know more when they actually have something to play with.
To respond to dos1 (who is [dead]), no chrome plugins are in use in the current video. We're rendering the desktop of the VM executing the test directly purely with Canvas and JS.<p>Validation is done using Roslyn, Scripts are executed currently with FluentAutomation + scriptcs.
Author here, We're very proud of what we're building so we've put up a new video showcasing our IDE.<p>I'd appreciate any/all feedback and we're here to answer questions.
