I have recorded a test case in Selenium IDE and want to convert that to Junit. When I try to change through format, I have two options called ‘JUnit WebDriver’ and ‘JUnit WebDriver Backed’. Can you guys please explain me what is the different between this WebDriver and WebDriver Backed? Sorry I am new to Selenium, started learning through Internet Materials.
Thanks,
Abdul Hameed
You use "JUnit WebDriver" if you are using the Selenium 2/WebDriver API. You use "JUnit WebDriver Backed" if you are using the Selenium 1/RC API.
If you switch back and forth you can see the difference in the test method displayed in the IDE window.
More info on the Selenium website here.
The WebDriver Backed JUnit is a hybrid option to allow you continue using the Selenium 1.0 RC while migrating your existing tests to Selenium 2.0 WebDriver

Iam trying to use webdriver plugin to automate an application in jmeter. Can anyone help me to do scripting in selenium by using webdriver plugin. Thanks in advance.
It depends on the browser and programming language you're using.
Currently Chrome is the most popular browser and JavaScript is the default language for the WebDriver Sampler so:
Download chromedriver (make sure that the version you download matches your Chrome browser version)
Add Chrome Driver Config and specify the path to the chromedriver in the "Chrome" tab:
Add WebDriver Sampler and implement the code for your test scenario. WDS.browser will stand for the ChromeDriver instance so you will be able to: use
WDS.browser.get('some url') - open a page
var element = WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.id('some id')) - locate a WebElement
element.click() - click the element found in the previous step
etc.

All the examples show how to use Selenium Java webdriver with Jmeter.
Can I use Selenium Javascript webdriver with Jmeter?
JavaScript is default language of the WebDriver Sampler
so the answer is yes, you can use JavaScript language for Selenium tests with the WebDriver Sampler.

Is it the browser job to support WebDriver or is it WebDriver job to support each browser?
I mean if there is a new release of Chrome does this mean that WebDriver works right away because the support is included in the new Chrome release?
Or is WebDriver support added later by the developers of WebDriver?
To run selenium webdriver in Chrome browser, we need to take the help of ChromeDriver which is a separate executable that selenium webdriver uses to control chrome. ChromeDriver is supported by the Chromium team, ChromeDriver is a standalone server which implements WebDriver's wire protocol for Chromium.

Yes, Webdriver made changes later that's the reason new jars of selenium launches so rapidly.
Hope it will help you :)
I know , behat framework uses Selenium stand alone server to run the files which is not very effective. Has it been updated to use selenium webdriver ??...
"uses Selenium stand alone server to run the files which is not very effective. Has it been updated to use selenium webdriver"
Using the stand-alone server is irrelevant. The stand-alone server has both Selenium RC and Selenium WebDriver built in. It all depends on which classes you are extending from.
So to your question:
Has it been updated to use selenium webdriver?
Behat is just a DSL of sorts... If you are using Behat with Selenium, then it depends on what you are extending your classes from.
Behat itself has nothing to do with selenium.
Web automation is implemented in Mink, which is used with Behat via the MinkExtension.
All the drivers supported by Mink out of the box are listen in their docs:
GoutteDriver
BrowserKitDriver
Selenium2Driver
ZombieDriver
SahiDriver
SeleniumDriver
As you probably noticed there are two selenium drivers - SeleniumDriver supports the old SeleniumRC protocol - while Selenium2Driver supports the webdriver.
How can I use action mouseOver() with PHPUnit in my tests?
I can't find information about it.. Only using of java class Action.
Unfortunately the Selenium 2 WebDriver is not supported by the existing Selenium extension for PHPUnit (only the deprecated Selenium RC is). Refer to thread Selenium 2 (WebDriver) and Phpunit?, it's from a year ago but still valid.
