Selenium State of the Union, To Infinity and Beyond
summary
WebDriver is now a W3C specification stuck at proposed recommendation, with two working implementations—geckodriver and IEDriver—and an extensive stat test suite of about eight tests; Grid is mature and stable for horizontal scaling, while the old Selenium IDE is being rebuilt as a web-component IDE to run on Chrome/Firefox/Edge. The project runs on a handful of heavy contributors (seven people with >1,000 commits, only four still active), creating a fragile bus factor and a clear need for documentation, bug triage, and new committers.
