## What is Selenide?
Selenide is a framework for writing easy-to-read and easy-to-maintain automated tests in Java.
It defines concise fluent API, natural language assertions and does some magic for ajax-based applications to let you focus entirely on the business logic of your tests.
Selenide is based on and is compatible to Selenium WebDriver 4.0+
```java
@Test
public void login() {
open("/login");
$(By.name("user.name")).setValue("johny");
$("#submit").click();
$("#username").shouldHave(text("Hello, Johny!"));
}
```
