Web 程序测试是一项十分繁杂的工作，要面对无数的分支，整个过程十分枯燥，既浪费时间，又容易出错。

要是有一个自动化的测试程序就好了。

Selenium 就是这样一个基于浏览器的验收测试程序。

Selenium is a test tool for web applications. Selenium tests run directly in a browser, just as real users do. And they run in Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. No other test tool covers such a wide array of platforms.

• Browser compatibility testing. Test your application to see if it works correctly on different browsers and operating systems. The same script can run on any Selenium platform.
• System functional testing. Create regression tests to verify application functionality and user acceptance.
