It all started with Barry, then Cindy and Frankie appeared. There isn't a lot to be found about Frankie. Cindy is the only bot still used.

Advantages

You do not have to install anything on your machine.
You are probably already familiar with Gerrit and Wikimedia Labs.
While the tests are running, you can continue using your machine as usual, because everything is happening in Wikimedia Labs.
Debugging failed tests will be easier, since you will see the browser, logs, screenshots and video of the test run.

Disadvantages

You will need internet connection while running the tests.
You might not be familiar with Gerrit or Wikimedia Labs, so you will have to learn how to use yet another tool.
