If you don't call SeleneseTestCase 's setUp(String,String) , the default web browser
launch string used on Windows is *iexplore , and it's *firefox for all other operating
systems. If you use the class DefaultSelenium , you must provide a browser launch
string, for example: 1516

selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore",
" http://www.google.com/");
Note that experimental 17 browser launchers exist for elevated security privileges and
proxy injection.

12.8.2 Testing multiple browsers

We can apply the same JU nit @Parameterized feature we used with HtmlUnit in order
to run the same test class with more than one browser. In listing 12.16, we rework our
previous example with class-level and instance-level JU nit initialization in order to
combine the ability to run all tests with one client driver instance and then repeat the
test for different browsers.
