Add option for Selenium Grid

[pragmaticivan]

Would be really good if we can also scale Selenium Grid inside this config.

@pragmaticivan Could you add more details on this, please? Or better, a pull request :)

Thank you!

Sure, So, I was thinking about adding at least 1 chrome and 1 firefox instance of selenium and connecting to the Jenkins Selenium Grid.

As you can see you already have selenium grid working there, Just need to connect instance of selenium browsers.

@avoinea thanks for adding it in the EEA working backlog

@pragmaticivan definetly smth nice to have.
We worked on it some tiem ago ... but we had very bad ROI on the automated functional tests ... they broke so often, functional tests gave so much false positive and difficult to maintain, were the reason why we stopped using them.

This is also reported by experts (Agile Alliance):

... Unlike automated unit tests, automated acceptance tests are not universally viewed as a net benefit and some controversy has arisen ... sometimes due to the "fragile" test issue, their maintenance is also in many cases reported as burdensome ...

@avoinea However I can see them very useful for running some recurrent performance tests of our CMS. I am not sure it is on the short term priority list for us though ... so @pragmaticivan it may be better to get some community contribution here I think 😃
