Like other flavors of Selenium it will work in multiple browsers on multiple platforms.

You might want to use Selenium IDE to perform a quick and dirty test if the data and site never changes and is only used for a shirt while like perhaps a couple of days. But if I want to use it longer term, I might try something else like Selenium Remote Control.

Some basic steps to use Selenium IDE:

  1. Install Selenium IDE (I installed it in Firefox for this example)
  2. Open Firefox and go to the link you want to test
  3. Launch Selenium IDE
  4. By default you will be in Record mode
  5. Select HTML Format
  6. Click on some links, enter some text for your web application under test
  7. Stop your test
  8. Now run it
