The reality is, we have multiple abstractions, and have categorized them as support, web, application and domain. Support are the general abstractions which we often take for granted. They help us manage the infrastructure and environment, the dependencies, selecting which web driver and browser to use and abstracting the technology used by the application. An infrastructure abstraction makes it easy for us to configure our tests to run on different environments.
