How real folks outside our tech bubble use the web: 😮 Some have connection speeds as low as 20 Mbps 😮 Most use the same modem for 5-10 years 😮 Avg person replaces their computer every 5.6 years 😮 11% use browser versions that are up to 5 years old www.speedcurve.com/blog/six-thi... #webperf #ux

I have written/used many UI testing frameworks in my career and always had to rely on some querySelector (ids, classes, DOM elements). And if the website changed, then all the tests would break... #ui #testing #automation
