JUnit Format in WebDriver vs WebDriver Backed


You use "JUnit WebDriver" if you are using the Selenium 2/WebDriver API. You use "JUnit WebDriver Backed" if you are using the Selenium 1/RC API.

If you switch back and forth you can see the difference in the test method displayed in the IDE window.

More info on the Selenium website here.


The WebDriver Backed JUnit is a hybrid option to allow you continue using the Selenium 1.0 RC while migrating your existing tests to Selenium 2.0 WebDriver
