Selenium WEB自动化测试工具
Selenium也是一个用于Web应用程序测试的工具。Selenium测试直接运行在浏览器中，就像真正的用户在操作一样。支持的浏览器包括IE(7、8、9)、Mozilla Firefox、Mozilla Suite等。这个工具的主要功能包括：测试与浏览器的兼容性——测试你的应用程序看是否能够很好得工作在不同浏览器和操作系统之上。
Selenium v2.45.0 发布，此版本现已提供下载：http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/2.45/selenium-server-standalone-2.45.0.jar。此版本支持 Firefox 36，更新内容如下：
v2.45.0 ======= Important changes in this release: * Native events in Firefox relied on an API that Mozilla no longer provides. As such, fall back to synthesized events on recent Firefox versions. Other changes: * When Selenium is unable to interact with an element, such as the case when an element is missing or disabled, this change will output exactly how Selenium is attempting to locate the element, such as the XPath or id of the element. This greatly speeds up troubleshooting issues, as the exception message clearly states what element is broken/missing for common problems like an ElementNotFoundException. * improve ByCssSelector#toString * Remove automatic installation of the SafariDriver in Java. * Complete Selenium Java Server support for Blink based Opera * Upgrading PhantomJS driver * Pull HttpClient implementation details out of HttpCommandExecutor. * Fix issue 8254: Extensions were incorrectly transferred between Windows client and Linux grid node, because ZipEntry had incorrect name with '' as separators. * Adding capabilities and browser type for Opera Blink, and configuring tests to run in Opera Blink * Adding support for Blink-based Opera to Java binding * Adding Yosemite platform * Allowing to set an arbitrary platform capability even if it can't be converted to Platform enum. Non-standard platform values can cause matching issues on Grid, but they can be usable for third-party Grid implementations * Taking XML namespaces into account when searching by XPath. Checked to work in Firefox. Chrome supports namespaces out of the box. Need to update IE and Safari drivers to use the updated atom and test them carefully.

一、Selenium 的版本
Selenium 现在存在2个版本，一个叫 selenium-core, 一个叫selenium-rc 。
selenium-core 是使用HTML的方式来编写测试脚本，你也可以使用 Selenium-IDE来录制脚本，但是目前Selenium-IDE只有 FireFox 版本。
Selenium-RC 是 selenium-remote control 缩写，是使用具体的语言来编写测试类。
selenium-rc 支持的语言非常多，这里我们着重关注java的方式。这里讲的也主要是 selenium-rc，因为个人还是喜欢这种方式.
