The web is constantly evolving, and so is how we need to test it. WebDriver BiDi is a new way to control the browser without compromising the ability to use everyday browsers that people use. It is supported by Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, and Apple, making sure all your users are getting the same level of support. It is an ergonomic and powerful tool for browser automation and testing with support for popular testing frameworks like Selenium with more control over low-level events in the browser. Attendees leave with a clear understanding of how WebDriver BiDi can be used to enhance their browser automation and testing capabilities.
