        Selenium 是 ThoughtWorks 专门为 Web 应用程序编写的一个验收测试工具。据 Selenium 主页所说,与其他测试工具相比,使用 Selenium 的最大好处是:
  
    “Selenium 测试直接在浏览器中运行,就像真实用户所做的一样。Selenium 测试可以在 Windows、Linux 和 MacintoshAnd 上的 Internet Explorer、Mozilla 和 Firefox 中运行。其他测试工具都不能覆盖如此多的平台。”
  
    使用 Selenium 和在浏览器中运行测试还有很多其他好处。下面是主要的两大好处:
  
    * 通过编写模仿用户操作的 Selenium 测试脚本,可以从终端用户的角度来测试应用程序。
  
    * 通过在不同浏览器中运行测试,更容易发现浏览器的不兼容性。
  
     Selenium 的核心,也称 browser bot,是用 JavaScript 编写的。这使得测试脚本可以在受支持的浏览器中运行。browser bot 负责执行从测试脚本接收到的命令,测试脚本要么是用 HTML 的表布局编写的,要么是使用一种受支持的编程语言编写的。
