Selenium is an umbrella project encapsulating a variety of tools and libraries enabling web browser automation. Selenium specifically provides an infrastructure for the W3C WebDriver specification , a platform and language-neutral coding interface compatible with all major web browsers.
The project is made possible by volunteer contributors who've generously donated thousands of hours in code development and upkeep.
This README is for developers interested in contributing to the project. For people looking to get started using Selenium, please check out our User Manual for detailed examples and descriptions, and if you get stuck, there are several ways to Get Help.
