Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with browser based remote control of functional testing tools are described. One exemplary method embodiment includes receiving requests from a browser to control (e.g., start, stop) a functional testing tool. The example method may also include retrieving a test script to be an input for the functional testing tool and providing the test script to the functional testing tool. The example method is a server based method that resides logically between the browser and the functional testing tool.
