| Selenium RC | Selenium WebDriver |
|---|
| Selenium RC architecture is complicated as the server needs to be up and running before starting a test. | WebDriver's architecture is simpler than Selenium RC as it controls the browser from the OS level. |
| Selenium Server acts as a middle man between browser and selenese commands | WebDriver interacts directly to the browser and uses the browser's engine to control it. |
| Selenium RC script execution is slower since it uses a Javascript to interact with RC | WebDriver is faster as it interacts directly with browser. |
| Selenium RC cannot support the headless as tt needs a real browser to work with. | WebDriver can support the headless execution |
| Its a simple and small API | Complex and a bit large API as compared to RC |
| Less Object oriented API | Purely Object oriented API |
| Cannot test mobile Applications | Can test iPhone/Android applications
