This technique should work with any +JavaScript-enabled browser. Because different browsers handle +JavaScript somewhat differently, we usually have to tweak the engine to +support new browsers. +<h2>Where did Selenium Come From?</h2> +Selenium grew out of a testing framework that was +developed to acceptance-test the functionality of <a + href="https://www.thoughtworks.com">ThoughtWorks</a>' new +web-based time & expense reporting application. It was written by +Jason Huggins, Paul Gross and Jie Tina Wang.<br> +<p class="paragraph">Jason +started demoing the test framework for various colleagues. Many were +excited about its immediate and intuitive visual feedback, as well as +its potential to grow as a reusable testing framework for other web +applications.</p> +And Selenium was born. +<br> +<h2>Having Trouble?</h2> +Check out our <a + href="http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/SEL/FAQ">Frequently +Asked Questions</a> page +for more information. +</body> +</html> |
