Who created Selenium?

Selenium was originally an internal tool of ThoughtWorks in Chicago, created by Jason Huggins in2004year development. With the help of Paul Gross and Jie Tina Wang, they established a core pattern 'JavaScriptTestRunner' to test internal time and time. Cost applications (Python, Plone).

Then, they considered making the test tool open source. ThoughtWorkers employees around the world used Selenium for commercial projects.

Selenium RC was the first version of Selenium. Huggins was2007joined Google. Together with Jennifer Bevan and others, he continued to develop and stabilize Selenium RC.

2008In the year, Philippe Hanrigou (then at ThoughtWorks) created the 'Selenium Grid', which provided a central point to run multiple Selenium tests simultaneously on any number of local or remote systems, thus greatly shortening the test execution time.

2009After the developers' meeting between Google Test Automation Conference, it was decided to merge these two projects and name the new project Selenium Web Driver or Selenium 2From that point on, there was no turning back. Since then, with updates, bug fixes, and support for more OSes and different browsers, the project has achieved great success.
