Selenide = UI Testing Framework powered by Selenium WebDriver

What is Selenide?

Selenide is a framework for writing easy-to-read and easy-to-maintain automated tests in Java. It defines concise fluent API, natural language assertions and does some magic for ajax-based applications to let you focus entirely on the business logic of your tests.

Selenide is based on and is compatible to Selenium WebDriver 2.0 and 3.0

@Test
public void testLogin() {
  open("/login");
  $(By.name("user.name")).setValue("johny");
  $("#submit").click();
  $("#username").shouldHave(text("Hello, Johny!"));
}
