Selenium/Ruby/Cindy The Browser Test Bot

Advantages

 * You do not have to install anything on your machine.
 * You are probably already familiar with Gerrit and Wikimedia Labs.
 * While the tests are running, you can continue using your machine as usual, because everything is happening in Wikimedia Labs.
 * Debugging failed tests will be easier, since you will see the browser, logs, screenshots and video of the test run.

Disadvantages

 * You will need internet connection while running the tests.
 * You might not be familiar with Gerrit or Wikimedia Labs, so you will have to learn how to use yet another tool.
