WebDriver tests are end-to-end tests that exercise the webapplication just like a real user would. WebDriver models user interactionswith a web page such as finger flicks, finger scrolls and long presses. It canrotate the display and interact with HTML5 features such as local storage,session storage and the application cache. Those tests run as part of an Android tests project and are based on Junit. They can be launched from Eclipse or the command line. WebDriver testscan be wired with a continuous integration system and can run on phone andtablet emulators or real devices. Once the test starts, WebDriver opens aWebView configured like the Android browser and runs the tests against it.
