• PhantomJS has ghostdriver embedded so it is an all-in-one package
• PhantomJS has crashes periodically, so have some concerns about using it.
• As of 2018.11.28:
  • [FOR PHP] I currently prefer to use chromedriver with the --headless CLI spec for CI/CD use
    • if only to ensure consistent runtime & capability support
  • There are good reasons to implement other drivers - but I'd lean towards implementing other webdrivers AFTER a chromedriver solution is build & stable.
    • Then FireFox & IE headful
    • Then these two in headless
  • FireFox PHP driver currently has issues with the php-webdriver(Facebook WebDriver), so have not implemented FF in my latest PHPUnit-php-webdriver framework.

• When testing web applications ( or any complex product ) modeling the application is critical for reducing maintenance overhead.
• Tests should be abstracted away from interacting with the DOM & its elements such that they only reflect interactions
• By modeling the application, creating tests is intuitive & element selectors are assigned one time in one place
  • Using enumerations and/or constants allow for indirect references to elements so if their selectors change, the only update needed is one constant assignment
• When the framework is updated to reflect architectural changes in the product, updates will be contained and encapsulated
  • failing tests will show technical debt & expose possible impact to the product that may have not been anticipated.

Headless Chrome

To run Chrome browser in a headless environment, we need send an aurgument "--headless" to ChromeOptions. This option will tell Google Chrome to execute in headless mode.
