Selenium Remote Control

I think Selenium Remote Control is more robust, ‘best-practice’ solution to functional automation of a web UI.Selenium Remote Control provides a Selenium Server, which can automatically start/stop/control any supported browser. It works by using Selenium Core, a pure-HTML+JS library that performs automated tasks in JavaScript. Selenium RC can be used for automating web applications for different web browsers on different platforms using your favorite language like JAVA, C#, Perl, Python, Ruby etc. You can use Selenium RC with or without Selenium IDE. Though, you might find it easier to start with Selenium IDE and than move to Selenium RC for customization and making your automation more robust.
