Research alternatives to Selenium

[james-garriss]

💡 Summary

Selenium is used as part of the ScubaGear (SG) test suite to pull values from the HTML file. The PowerShell Selenium module that SG uses is abandoned, thus requiring some sort of change. The purpose of this issue is to research various alternatives to the existing solution and present them to the team with a list of pros and cons for selection.

Motivation and context

This would be useful because relying upon abandoned code is unwise.

Implementation notes

Options include but are not limited to:

• A different Selenium module
• A different Selenium implementation
• Taking over the development of the existing Selenium module and upgrading it
• Using a HTML-based parser, such as Beautiful Soup, even if it's based upon a different language, such as Python or Javascript
• Something completely different that we haven't yet thought of

Acceptance criteria

How do we know when this work is done?

• We can extract the required values from the HTML without using abandonware.
