Why I switched to using Selenide for UI tests

In this video, I'm explaining, why I switched my UI test setup to use Selenide instead of Selenium.

Hi, Sebastian! In Russian-language IT, selenide is the standard. Most banks and major retailers use it

Helpful tutorial.

I’m just getting into ui testing, so I’m full of questions hehe. Have you checked into Cypress. Or does it not comply with your requirements??

How to access already opened browser in selenide?

[@SebastianDaschnerIT]

Once you've opened a browser session with Selenide you can use the $() and $$() methods to select elements in the current browsing window (tab).

[@Alex-ze7xo]

@@SebastianDaschnerIT ok? but how to bind selenide to opened browsing window with no need to open browser each time?

Selenide is God's mercy upon us. Most of the cases it works flawlessly.
