WebDriver BiDi: Revolutionizing Cross-Browser Automation [Testμ 2023]

WebDriver BiDi is an emerging browser automation protocol that aims to bridge the gap between traditional unidirectional automation and the need for more dynamic bidirectional communication. It combines the strengths of both WebDriver Classic and Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). The protocol allows for two-way communication, where both the client and the server can send requests and responses to each other. This session covered the process of making WebDriver BiDi transform cross-browser testing, its benefits, and how it can be used in Selenium WebdriverIO.
