Headless Browsers & Testing at Scale

Chrome and Firefox now fully support a “headless” mode to help facilitate and speed up end-to-end testing, with other browsers potentially following suit. But what are headless browsers, exactly? What are the benefits? And how can they help to scale our testing efforts? This talk will explain what headless browsers are and why they’re useful. It will also discuss some of the challenges that are faced when headless browsers are used to ramp up the scale of our testing -- particular when designing end-to-end tests that will run in parallel. There will be a brief demo of the Ghost Inspector product at the end, along with a Q&A session.
