var webdriverio = require('webdriverio');
var options = { desiredCapabilities: { browserName: 'chrome' } };
webdriverio
    .remote(options)
    .init()
    .url('http://www.google.com')
    .title(function(err, res) {
        console.log('Title was: ' + res.value);
        // outputs: "Title was: Google"
    })
    .end();

How does it work?

WebdriverIO is an open source testing utility for nodejs. It makes it possible to write super easy selenium tests with Javascript in your favorite BDD or TDD test framework. Even Cucumber tests are supported.

It basically sends requests to a Selenium server via the WebDriver Wire Protocol and handles its response. These requests are wrapped in useful commands, which provide callbacks to test several aspects of your site in an automated way.
