Stop Inspecting – Start Glancing
summary
Demonstrates a prototype called Glance that replaces brittle CSS/ID selectors by matching visible text and minimal breadcrumbs, doesn't inspect the DOM and integrates with .NET WebDriver. Shows live demos: clicking an “Add to Cart” button and a todo app checking “buy eggs” by text only. Survives a framework rewrite from Knockout.js to React without changing tests. Project is open source and claimed to simplify Selenium code while actually working in the demos.
