Selenium - web application functional testing

The Selenium community has seen a steady increase of dedicated users. With a large user base, online forum support and dedication of ThoughtWorks team members - the ambition of becoming a replacement to the likes of Winrunner (and other leading commercial test automation tools) could still be within reach.

In simple terms, Selenium is an Open Source test automation tool, suited for:

• System functional testing - ideal for acceptance or regression testing.
• Compatibility testing - Selenium covers a Windows, Mac and Linux platforms including a wide range of web browsers.

Keep it simple, or dig deep

Simplicity - use the Selenium IDE to create a single or a complete suite of tests.
