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.
