" summary

Selenium is a robot library that drives browsers to reproduce user workflows and handles AJAX-heavy apps; its site is seleniumhq.org and the project reports 1.5 million downloads to date. The ecosystem includes Selenium IDE, Selenium Remote Control, Selenium Grid and a planned WebDriver merge that adds browser‑extension/native hooks to work around JavaScript sandbox limits. Demos show a Firefox extension reliably dismissing alerts, a cloud grid on EC2 for parallel runs, and screen‑cast style automated demos built with castanaut.
