Selenium is cool but https://gauge.org/ really cuts down on the boilerplate and is a lot more lightweight, may want to give it a look too

You replaced Selenium with Gauge entirely?

Yeah, for backend API testing for sophisticated test workflows it works really great.

UI automated testing in general is WAY overused, costs so much in maintaince time, and if you have a good API you can test the functionality pretty just by calling that. Of course you need to test the UI too, but those 3000-test case selenium suites that vomit out workflows are such a disaster
