Headless Browser-Selenium,HTMLUnitDriver
HtmlUnit
is a “GUI-Less browser for Java programs”. It has fairly good JavaScript support (which is constantly improving) and is able to work even with quite complex AJAX libraries, simulating Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer depending on the configuration used.
It is typically used for testing purposes or to retrieve information from web sites. HtmlUnit is not a generic unit testing framework. It is specifically a way to simulate a browser for testing purposes and is intended to be used within another testing framework such as JUnit or TestNG.
Refer to the document “Getting Started with HtmlUnit” for an introduction.
