Feature parity
Here you can see what you can already do with Patrol's PlatformAutomator, and what
is yet to be implemented. We hope that it will help you evaluate Patrol.
We strive for high feature parity across platforms, but in some cases it's impossible to reach 100%. Web support is available for browser-specific automation.
macOS support is still in alpha. A small set of platform automation APIs is
available via $.platform.macos (native tap/wait, NSAlert dialogs, and
application menu bar items).
