Installation
To install the tool, copy the “core” directory to a web-accessible directory on the same web server as the application that you want to test. For example, this would be under the “htdocs” serving directory on the Apache web server.
Once deployed on the web server, we can run the tool.

To run the tool, open a web browser and launch the Selenium Functional TestRunner.
