7. Framework has Cucumber integration.

8. Framework has cloud (BrowserStack) integration so we can run test cases on cloud.

9. Framework has support to customized webdriver so we can add capabilties by ourself which will not provided by serenity readymade drivers.

10. Framework is enabled with multiple Maven Profile so it will really helpful and user-friendly if we want to execute specific test cases e.g. for cucumber we can use maven profile mvn clean verify -Pcucumber.
