Running Selenium in Edge With IE Mode
Internet Explorer is dead! Long live IE Mode. Selenium no longer supports the standalone browser, but it does support executing Microsoft Edge in IE Mode. I wrote C++ code (for the first time!) to make using the IEDriverServer in v4.5 easier to use. Plus, there are two common issues I’ll show how to address.

November Recap
I’m bad at writing articles for this site. I have dozens of posts from the past several years that are in various stages of progress, none of which are quite “good enough” to publish. Someone recently gave me a great suggestion that I just write what I’ve been up to professionally for the month and not worry about creating the code examples and getting everything perfect. So, I’m giving it a try…

Optimizing Page Factory
While you should know by now that you should not be using the Selenium PageFactory class, it is by far the most common Page Object implementation in Java.

The Valley of Success
In general, I dislike analogies when it comes to testing. Anything that starts with “testing is like…” Specifically, I hate mountain climbing analogies. They are always used to represent achievement in the face of something daunting, and there’s always a chasm of some kind that you have to cross along the way. The analogy always breaks down because testing is a continuous activity; there is no “top,” no ultimate achievement that can’t be undone by something released tomorrow. I think this analogy is the opposite of how we should think about testing, so I’ve come up with an analogy that is both more apt and more generalizable: The Valley of Success.
The TitusOnBDD Project
In response to the questions people have asked me about my talk on The Hidden Costs of BDD Tools, I’ve created a couple dozen short videos. I’m going to tweet them out over the course of the next couple days with the hashtag #TitusOnBDD, and the videos will all be posted on my YouTube channel. If anyone wants to have a longer conversation about the topic, we can do that in the comments here.
