Use webdriver

For what it need?

As you know SeIDE is only for Firefox, so you can run selense only in Firefox. Other way is to run selense by SeRC with -htmlSuite key, and SeRC will be restart every time you run selense.

So what we need? We need runner wich runs selense. So we create runner that translates selense into WebDriver commands and assertions.

WebDriver vs SeRC

Why we use WebDriver , firstly SeRC is going to depracated.

Secondly, WebDriver can run on SeRC through RemoteWebDriver, so we don't loose anything from SeRC ( SeGrid for example or remote execution on other machine ).

Thirdly, WebDriver already control many browsers ( Opera, Chrome , Firefox etc)
