He initially created it as an internal tool called "JavaScriptTestRunner" to automate the testing of a time and expenses web application.While Jason Huggins is recognized as the founder and primary creator of Selenium, the project evolved with contributions from several other individuals over time, including:
- Paul Hammant: Contributed to the development of Selenium Remote Control (Selenium RC).
- Patrick Lightbody: Developed Selenium Grid for parallel test execution.
- Shinya Kasatani: Created Selenium IDE.
- Simon Stewart: Developed WebDriver, which later merged with Selenium RC to form Selenium WebDriver (Selenium 2.0)
