Twenty Years of Web Testing: From Selenium's Dawn to Vitest's Promise
Tired of keeping up with the latest JavaScript test runners? You're not alone. Let's take a journey from the days of Selenium (//div[@class='nightmare']) to the refreshing simplicity of Vitest. Through conversations with framework creators and battle-scarred developers, we'll explore why we keep reinventing testing tools—and why that's not always a bad thing. You'll learn when to jump on new testing trends, when to stick with what works, and why sometimes the best choice is just clicking through your app like it's 1999. Perfect for anyone who's ever wondered 'Do we really need another test runner?' (Spoiler: Sometimes we do.)

At the end, you'll have a recipe for shipping libraries that support both Vue 2 and Vue 3.
