This is an awesome work, especially knowing that it can be integrated
in Hydra and thus can be used in a continuous integration testing.
You should definitely suggest a talk about that to the FOSDEM.

For your company, I will recommend you to have a look at Firefox OS
and its market place.  The good thing about the Mozilla place is that
it use install Web API which is open and any browser can implement it,
and as such it potentially targets any Web enabled device, which
currently means Firefox OS, Android and Desktops.  Such integration
testing with different targets might be even more challenging and
appealing.

Congratulation for your new Job.
