Having played with Selenium RC the predecessor and WebDriver the successor it is fairly easy to judge the better of two. The quantum of difference is much more than I expected. Here are the reasons why I say that webDriver is supreme by a huge margin:
WebDriver is the enhanced and superior tool from the selenium community for automating web application testing. It provides an easy to use API that is easier to explore and understand. It is far more effective than the Selenium-RC (1.0) API. Creation and maintenance of automated tests is much easier with the webDriver. It can be assimilated in your framework or a new framework can be created using the webDriver. The webDriver is self contained and does not have dependencies that impede your development or cause intermittent issues due to unwanted junctions. The overall impact of this is increased stability. You can use the webDriver with android and iphone as well. Start setting up your WebDriver project if you haven’t already started it.
