What is Selenium?

Selenium is one of the most popular tools for browser based testing. It is an Open Source project that has gained a lot of popularity in the last few years. Even though there are other Open Source (free) tools that can test a web application, like HttpUnit, HtmlUnit etc, this was one of the first tools that provided a real alternative to commercial tools like Quick Test Pro (QTP), WinRunner, Silk and others that had gained significant adoption by the QA Engineers.
