The wait is over! Today we finally get back on the major release train and present you the new Neodymium 5.0.0. Back to state of the art technologies with Selenium 7 and JUnit 5 we bring a bunch of new functionalities, improvements and new features.

Did you ever want to follow the whole journey of your automated user through the site? Well we now have a video recording of your testcases added.
