This is the quickstart with Maven. For a quickstart without Maven, look here
The browser with the probably highest speed and lowest memory consumption in Selenium world: the headless PhantomJS
[Update 26.11.2013]: Ghostdriver is not ripe yet due to lack of enough stable maintainers: https://github.com/detro/ghostdriver/issues/140
[Note]: The development of Selenium and GhostDriver (which is the bridge between PhantomJS and Selenium) isn’t synchronized yet. So maybe the most actual versions of Selenium Server and GhostDriver may not work together. A combination that fits:
* PhantomJS 1.9.2
* GhostDriver 1.0.4
* Selenium 2.34
Setup is really quick
1.) Download phantomjs-1.9.2-windows.zip here and extract it to C:\Program Files (x86)
2.) Add C:\Program Files (x86)\phantomjs-1.9.2-windows to the PATH-variable
3.) Add in pom.xml

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.detro.ghostdriver</groupId>
            <artifactId>phantomjsdriver</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.4</version>
        </dependency>

4.) Maybe change the version of selenium in pom.xml
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
            <version>2.34.0</version>
        </dependency>

Sample Code
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSDriver;
public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver();
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
        element.sendKeys("Cheese!");
        element.submit();
        System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Looks so good

… if you’ve done right – your result should look like that:



Speedy Testing!
