Selenium WebDriver Introduction

Selenium WebDriver is a web automation framework that allows you to execute your tests against different browsers, not just Firefox (unlike Selenium IDE).

• WebDriver also enables you to use a programming language in creating your test scripts.
• You can now use conditional operations like if-then-else or switch-case.
• You can also perform looping like do-while.
• Selenium WebDriver works by making calls to the browser & then performing testing or operations on the browser. 
• Different browser drivers are used for making calls to different browsers.
• Such as Chrome Driver, Gecko Driver, etc. The call is made by writing scripts.
