Abstract	In this work, we describe practices for configuring Jenkins pipelines to automate cross-browser regression testing within a Continuous Integration (CI) system for nightly automated test runs, using a Maven-Selenium toolset. Automated testing presents a challenge of homogeneous UI testing across various browsers, operating systems and settings. The above integration process by Charter Communications illustrates how automation by using Selenium WebDriver, Maven as a dependency management tool as well as Jenkins as an Orchestration tool can provide an automated, scaled and robust test execution. The system is meant to provide test execution with optimal resources such as test execution in parallel processes, and inclusive and wide-range reporting to provide timely feedback. Proactive maintenance of test cases is managed by test-case modularity, test-browser compatibility monitoring and version-controlled pipeline-as-code maintenance strategies. The QA team benefits through a reduction in manual work, test-driven release processes, quick regression stability, and quicker detection without impacting the release cadence.
