Which tool automates web browser testing?
Advanced Topics: Web and Mobile Testing
Websites vs. web applications, web testing (functionality: links, forms, cookies, HTML/CSS, databases; usability, interface, compatibility, security, performance), automation with Selenium, and mobile testing: native, web and hybrid apps, and the challenges and types of mobile testing.
