What is Selenium?

Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well.

Selenium is a very articulate tool to automate user tasks on web applications. We use it to automate our manual tasks and functional cases. All are functional test cases for web application are automated and executed using selenium.
