Selenium Roadmap

We know that Selenium is an open source tool used to perform UI testing. Since July 2011, we started to use Selenium 2.
But we wonder what is the future of Selenium? The community developers are working to release Selenium 3.

The aim for Selenium 3 is to be "a tool user-focused automation of mobile and web apps". What does it mean? See this link to found out: https://seleniumhq.wordpress.com/2013/08/28/the-road-to-selenium-3/.

Also, there is a new webinar recording about the future of Selenium here: http://testautomation.applitools.com/post/144952401467/webinar-recording-selenium-30-the-spec-and.

Happy testing and... make it green, becomes a dream :).
