Scaling Selenium at Facebook

Facebook's billion users have no idea the site gets released twice a day with no user impact. Achieving this put high demands on automated testing, and Selenium is a key part of making it all possible. Scaling Selenium to this development and release cycle is a major challenge, as is making it easy for all Facebook engineers to test their code with Selenium.

Join us to hear about the following:

• How Facebook engineers dealt with scaling Selenium to their size

• Facebook's new open-source PHP Selenium API

• How they're making it easier for their engineers to write and debug Selenium tests
