Selenium Core

Selenium Core is a handy tool for testing web applications. It works just like real users do, running tests directly in your browser. You can use it on popular browsers like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and even on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh systems. It's pretty awesome that no other testing tool supports such a wide range of platforms!

Browser Compatibility Testing

With Selenium Core, you can easily check if your application runs smoothly across different browsers and operating systems. The best part? The same test script can work on any Selenium platform. This means less hassle for you!

System Functional Testing

This tool lets you create regression tests to make sure everything in your app is working as it should. Plus, it helps with user acceptance testing too.

How Does It Work?

Selenium Core has this cool feature that allows it to run on so many different platforms! It’s built using pure JavaScript/DHTML. All you have to do is copy the Selenium Core tests directly into your web server for the application. This way, the tests will run in any supported browser right from the client-side! Just keep in mind that you'll need write access to the machine where your web application server is hosted.
