    Selenium WebDriver
    Selenium WebDriver was created by yet another engineer at ThoughtWorks named as Simon
    Stewart in the year 2006. WebDriver is also a web-based testing tool with a subtle difference
    with Selenium RC. Since, the tool was built on the fundamental where an isolated client was
    created for each of the web browser; no JavaScript Heavy lifting was required. This led to a
    compatibility analysis between Selenium RC and WebDriver. As a result a more powerful
    automated testing tool was developed called Selenium 2.
    WebDriver is clean and a purely object oriented framework. It utilizes the browsers native
    compatibility to automation without using any peripheral entity. With the increasing demand it
    has gained a large popularity and user base.
