Preface

Selenium WebDriver is an open source software-testing tool used to automate web-based applications that is platform independent and that can be accessed by any popular programming languages. It's been about a decade since Jason Huggins started the Selenium project in 2004 at Thoughtworks. Later, in 2008, Simon Stewart combined his work on WebDriver with Selenium to give a new birth to Selenium WebDriver. Today, Selenium WebDriver is the most widely used web-automation tool around the world.

This book provides guidance that will help readers grasp Selenium WebDriver concepts fast. You will learn about the advanced features of the Selenium IDE and Selenium Builder, followed by cross-browser tests, methods of Selenium WebDriver, best practices involved, and extensive ideas to create a Selenium framework.
