I tried running the Selenium core with a variety of browsers to see how the test performance differed. All of these tests will be run on a computer using Windows XP.
Firefox - Selenium did not seem to find any errors and it ran six tests and passed two commands. Zero tests or commands failed. Took 27 seconds to perform tests.
Internet Explorer - I had trouble getting the selenium core to run in IE at first, but I think that was because there was a problem logging in. However, once I took care of that issue the core managed to pass all of the pbooks test. Although, it did take a lot longer to do so in this browser. The tests finished in 1 minute 22 seconds.
Opera - The Selenium core did not have a problem running the tests with Opera and had the same results as the firefox test. Took 37 seconds to perform tests.
Netscape - Selenium was also able to perform its tests without a problem using the netscape browser. 6 tests were run and 0 failed, however, the test did not run any commands on this browser. Took 48 seconds
to complete commands.
The tests ran successfully on each of the browsers I tried, with internet explorer being the only one that gave me a little bit of trouble. The speeds of the test completion also varied, with firefox being the fastest and IE being the slowest.
