Selenium in Java

Selenium Webdriver is a workhorse. Java is not my favorite language, but sometimes it is easier on your team to understand and help with testing if you write your tests in the same language the software being tested in written in.

The tutorial below will show you how to write reliable and refactorable tests in Selenium by using dynamic waits and the page object model.
