+<b>Selenium</b> is a test tool for web applications. Selenium tests run
+<b>directly in a browsers</b>, 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.

+<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span>Selenium
+uses a unique mechanism which allows it to run on so multiple
+platforms. Installed with your application webserver, Selenium
+automatically deploys it's JavaScript automation engine -- the Browser
+Bot -- to your browser when you point it at the Selenium install point
+on your webserver. Thus, you must have write access to the machine your
+web application server is running on to install Selenium.<br>

+<h2>How does Selenium Work? <br>
+</h2>
+Selenium uses JavaScript and Iframes to embed a test automation
+engine in your browser. 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 &amp; 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.
