+# Persistent Selenium in JavaScript
+
+I'm moving to a more JavaScript-heavy environment but still wanted to preserve
+my [development mode integration testing setup](https://github.com/johnbintz/bintz-integration_testing_setup).
+Since I have no Capybara, I made this. It wraps [selenium-standalone](https://github.com/vvo/selenium-standalone)
+with an Express proxy that intercepts calls to create and destroy sessions,
+and ensures there's only ever one session that is never destroyed. Works
+great with [Testium](https://github.com/groupon/testium/) and allows me
+to recreate my RSpec/Cucumber + Capybara setup purely in JavaScript!
+
+## Using
+
+`npm install -g persistent_selenium`, then `persistent_selenium`. Point
+your Selenium client to `http://localhost:4443`. Test away!
