Selenium Server Execution time

Hi all

We Executed our Selenium Scripts in batch Mode through QC. As per Our Selenium Framework While running the scripts in batch mode the Selenium Server Starts and Stops for each Script.

For Eg: If we are running 10 test cases, the Selenium server is called 10 times and stopped 10 times.

Can you Pls Provide suggestion to solve this issue. So that the Server Start and Stop Once.

I don't consider it a good practice to start and stop Selenium Server from script. If for what so ever reason server could not be started than you tests would not be executed. Start server out side script and keep it running always.

Also you may like to migrate to Selenium 2 (WebDriver) which is most stable offering from Selenium.
