New Touch Gesture API in Selenium / WebDriver

Written by Dante on October 27th, 2011

A commenter on my earlier post about NativeDriver asked if ND provides a mechanism to simulate touch-specific gestures. At the moment, it doesn’t, but at GTAC2011 today, Google’s Dounia Berrada was kind enough to show me the new touch-specific gesture support in Selenium’s TouchActions class.

Since NativeDriver is based on Selenium, I suspect it’s only a matter of time before NativeDriver includes support for this, too. Cool stuff!
