title: Selenium Unit Test using JUnit (Java)
body: <p>I just want to quickly ask, I found all over the internet and even here on SO, how Selenium IDE can create Java source files from what you are doing in browser. But all these sources result in some Unit Test. For Java I believe JUnit and some other are supported by Selenium IDE.</p>
  
  <p>But I want to ask, why? I mean, if you still need to compile them before executing, why are Unit Tests used instead of just running the code and look if WebDriver throwns any exception? What is the advantage of using for example JUnit here? I know its mostly used this way, I just don´t know why. Thanks.</p>
