-<h2><a name="test-tables">Modes of Operation</a></h2>
-Broadly speaking there are two modes of operation for Selenium
-TestRunner and Driven<br>
-<h3>TestRunner</h3>
-<img alt="standalone pic" src="images/SmallStandalone.png"
- style="width: 266px; height: 113px;"><br>
-<br>
-The TestRunner mode of operation for Selenium is where its HTML &amp;
-Javascript
-and the test suite are deployed alongside the Application Under Test
-(AUT) on a arbitrary web server. The test suite is coded as tables in a
-HTML page for each test.<br>
-<br>
-See <a href="testrunner.html">test runner documentation</a> for more
-information.<br>
-<h3>Driven</h3>
-<img alt="embedded pic" src="images/SmallEmbedded.png"
- style="width: 248px; height: 113px;">&nbsp; <br>
-Driven Selenium is where the browser is under the the control of a
-process on the same machine. That process is either a Java, .Net, Ruby
-or Python
-application and it is typically run in conjunction with a unit testing
-framework like JUnit or NUnit. Also possible, is a console application
-driving a browser interactively. <br>
-<br>
-The test script is one that would be recognisable to people adept with
-unit test frameworks :<br>
-<br>
-&nbsp; public void testOKClick() {<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; selenium.verifyTitle("First Page");<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; selenium.open("/TestPage.html");<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; selenium.click("OKButton");<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; selenium.verifyTitle("Another Page");<br>
-&nbsp; }<br>
-<br>
-The difference from normal unit testing is that as part of the startup,
-three major things have to happen:<br>
-<ol>
- <li>The test framework needs to publish a fresh copy of the AUT.
-Selenium prefers to mount its own web server temporarily for the
-purposes of testing.</li>
- <li>The test framework needs to publish the static Selenium's HTML
-pages and Javascript in an apparent directory
-on the same web server as (1).</li>
- <li>The test framework needs to open a browser instance and point it
-to Selenium.html served in (2) above.</li>
-</ol>
-As each of these is a fairly time consuming operation, it is best that
-all three of those happen in a one-time setup mode.&nbsp; As such, and
-even though these leverage a unit testing framework, this is definately
-for acceptance or functional rather than unit-testing.<br>
-<br>
-Some variations in the accesibility of the the webserver in question
-for testing purposes or its scriptablity mean a more complex setup is
-required:<br>
