Web testing is an important requirement considering internet acceptance worldwide for both web and mobile. Considering the wide use of agile methodology; there is a need for frequent release and hence regression testing.

Manual testing is not only slow and exhaustive but there are high chances of human errors. Testing the same test cases with different sets of data is time consuming. There are so many browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera etc.) on which the end user may access the application and hence the test matrix can become very complex and it multiplies the testing effort. This can be overcome by automation.
