SELENIUM RC

Selenium RC

     Selenium RC and Selenium Web Driver merged to form Selenium 2.

• To design a test using a more expressive language than Selenese

• To run your test against different browsers (except HtmlUnit) on different operating systems.

• To deploy your tests across multiple environments using Selenium Grid.

• To test your application against a new browser that supports JavaScript.

• To test web applications with complex AJAX-based scenarios.

Selenium RC comes in two parts. 

• A server which automatically launches and kills browsers, and acts as a HTTP proxy for web requests from them.

• Client libraries for your favourite computer language.

Selenium Remote Control is great for testing complex AJAX-based web user interfaces under a Continuous Integration system. It is also an ideal solution for users of Selenium IDE who want to write tests in a more expressive programming language than the Selenese HTML table format.
