 Selenium Remote Content (RC):

 Allows us to write automated web application UI tests in any programming language against
any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser.
 Selenium Server, which can automatically start/stop/control any supported browser.
 Selenium Core is a pure-HTML+JS library that performs automated tasks in JavaScript.
 Selenium Server acts as a client-configured HTTP proxy, to stand in between the browser
and your website.
 Selenium Server communicates directly with the browser using AJAX (XmlHttpRequest)
