Selenium With WD


Run WD tests on the TestMu AI cloud grid. This guide covers setup, running a sample test, configuring capabilities, and testing locally hosted pages.

Unmaintained Framework

The WD library is largely unmaintained. Consider migrating to WebDriverIO or Playwright. This guide is maintained for existing users.

Sample repo

All the code used in this guide is available in the sample repository.

Step 2: Set Your Credentials


Set your TestMu AI username and access key as environment variables.
