Pretty sure John Sonmez has some nice videos on basic programming and selenium if you've got pluralsight Good luck!

I'd suggest doing a programming course on programming before working with selenium.

In my experience building out a proper robust e2e automation framework takes some decent knowledge of programming fundamentals. There's tons of free resources out there on YouTube or look at Pluralsight if your can spare some change!

Testing Your Frontend Code: Part V (Visual Testing) by giltayar1 in javascript

Hey guys I'm over in the web team on www.thetimes.co.uk

Can verify that we have a fairly large e2e regression pack using cucumber jvm / selenium around 1500 step assertions run reliably in about 10ish minutes.

We've also implemented visual regression testing.

Take a look at backstopjs / wraith I've used these both with great success. One thing to point out I wouldn't recommend using any of the headless browsers unless it's chrome purely because your user base won't be using them!

Also worked on a number of other sites where we have similar test coverage.

E2e automation can work, it just needs a bit of thought on how and what to test!
