Selenium WebDriver

Selenium-WebDriver was developed to better support dynamic web pages

where elements of a page may change without the page itself being reloaded.

WebDriver’s goal is to supply a well-designed object-oriented API that provides

improved support for modern advanced web-app testing problems.

Selenium-WebDriver makes direct calls to the browser using each browser’s

native support for automation.
