The print version of 2nd edition shall be available next month. If you already purchased the 1st edition of Leanpub ebook, you can get this update free.

Just change the driver type to :edge
@driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:edge)
Yes, I think TestWise looks better in Windows 10 with thin borders.
When a tester starts working on a new test task, the very first thing is to get to know the requirement (or User Story). This post shows how to import a user story from JIRA (widely used in project as the agile project management tool) into…
