Currently `runtests.py` supports running Selenium tests using a local
browser only. This can make running tests against specific versions quite
hard.
Selenium supports a feature called 'hub': https://github.com/SeleniumHQ
/docker-selenium/wiki/Getting-Started-with-Docker-Compose#python. This
allows you to spin up multiple different browsers as docker containers, or
connect to remote cloud-hosted ones.
A hub backed webdriver is compatible with a local one, so no tests need to
be updated. A flag could be added to `runtests.py` specifying a hub URL,
and then a WebDriver is created from that URL.
