   * different tools and techniques for different tester skills
* [medium] mention pytest and some little gem plugins
* [advanced] mention page objects for maintainable and reliable UI tests

   * no browser configuration pain and selenium grid ready (Zalenium or any other grid vendors)
* [low] performance test
   * cookiecutter-performance scaffolding with BlazeMeter
   * write and reuse existing performance tests with any technology supported by Taurus (JMeter or any other programming based framework)
   * run massively scalable performance tests on web, mobile, and APIs
* [low] pytest-play for non technical testers. Write a JSON file with some commands, assertions and run your test
