Web Application Testing With Selenium 79

Selenium is an open source web testing framework that runs automated tests in a browser, allowing tests to be written in HTML and JavaScript. It has four main components: Selenium Core which runs tests on the same server as the application; Selenium Remote Control which runs tests on a separate server from the application; Selenium IDE which is a Firefox plugin for recording and playing back tests; and Selenium on Rails which integrates Selenium into Ruby on Rails applications for testing. Selenium tests applications using real browsers, works across platforms and browsers, and is language agnostic.
