Selenium Remote Control

Selenium Remote Control (RC) is a test tool that allows you to write automated web application UI tests in any programming language against any website using any browser. Selenium RC comes in two parts: a combination of a Selenium server and a client, which allows the automation of any browser on any operating system.

  • RC Server: A server that automatically launches and kills browsers and acts as an HTTP proxy for web requests from them.
  • Client libraries for your favorite computer language.
