At the same time, Simon Stewart at ThoughtWorks developed a superior browser automation tool called WebDriver. In 2009, after a meeting between the developers at the Google Test Automation Conference, it was decided to merge the two projects, and call the new project Selenium WebDriver, or Selenium 2.0. [7]
A query string is a part of a uniform resource locator that assigns values to specified parameters.A query string commonly includes fields added to a base URL by a Web browser or other client application, for example as part of an HTML document, choosing the appearance of a page, or jumping to positions in multimedia content.

Both forms are actively used. Microsoft .NET (for example, the method new Uri(path)) generally uses the 2-slash form; Java (for example, the method new URI(path)) generally uses the 4-slash form. Either form allows the most common operations on URIs (resolving relative URIs, and dereferencing to obtain a connection to the remote file) to be ...
Usability benefits are facilitating copying the hyperlink target URL or title if the browser or a browser extension offers a "Copy link text" context menu option for hyperlinks, the ability for the original URL to be retrieved from a saved page if not stored by the browser into a comment inside the file, as well as the ability to duplicate the ...
