Little cheat to speed up your WebDriver tests

While most examples for Selenium WebDriver use creating new instance of browser on setUp() and closing it on tearDown(), it is not that fast really. So, in most cases, you only need to clear cookies and open homepage. Fortunately, WebDriver allows this. Such a little cheat will significantly decrease the time your tests take to run.

You can clear cookies by driver.manage.delete_all_cookies (Ruby bindings). In Watir-WebDriver there is also cute clear_cookies() method. Just create a new instance of WebDriver before all the tests and clear cookies in setUp(). That's it.
