Selenium Boot

Selenium Boot is a Java testing framework that simplifies Selenium automation by providing sensible defaults, auto-waiting, and Playwright-inspired APIs. It solves the problem of teams rebuilding the same BaseTest, DriverFactory, and wait utilities for every project. It targets Java development teams, especially those already using Selenium, and engineering leads looking for parallel-safe, CI-integrated testing. It is positioned as an open-source, Apache-2.0 licensed framework that adds one dependency and never hides Selenium, allowing raw WebDriver access when needed.
