In Java, you can use HtmlUnitDriver to launch a headless browser session which will not actually open the browser.

Add the following dependency to your pom.xml (or download and reference the following):

    net.sourceforge.htmlunit
    htmlunit
    2.15

... and test it it as you would a WebDriver driver instance:

 driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
 driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
 driver.get("http://www.google.com");
 // etc..
 driver.quit();
