Committers Panel

on YouTube ↗57m

" summary

Panel covers concrete migration and contribution steps: use switch to Firefox ESR and set marionette=false when moving older suites, then test, upgrade to the latest geckodriver and Firefox; minimum Selenium recommended is upgrade to Selenium 3.5+ before toggling marionette off. WebDriver is now a W3C spec—browsers are moving to spec-compliant drivers, JSON Wire retires as vendors finish actions/session work. GeckoDriver gaps (logs, parity) are closing; language-specific contribution paths exist (Java, Python, Ruby, C#, IE driver in C++), and workshops help new committers.
