What is Selenium?

• Selenium is a robust set of tools that
  supports rapid development of test automation for
  web-based applications.
• Works anywhere JavaScript is supported
• Hooks for many other languages - Java, Ruby,
  Python
• Can simulate a user navigating through pages
  and then assert for specific marks on the pages
• All you need to really know is HTML to start
• using it right away

Selenium

• You can use open source - Selenium tool
• Selenium IDE is a plug-in to Firefox to record
  and playback tests (like WinRunner, QTP).
• You can then export the recorded test in most
  language e.g. HTML, Java , .NET , Perl , Ruby
  etc.
• The exported test can be run in any browser and
  any platform using "selenium remote control".

Where to get it?
You can use Selenium-Core and customize
everything deprecated. But it is easier to
just get a Firefox plug-in Selenium-IDE
that helps you record test Cases. You
can record how an app is being used and then
playback those recordings followed by asserts.

• Selenium-IDE
• Integrated Development Environment for building
  Selenium test cases.
• Operates as a Firefox add-on and provides an
  interface for developing and running individual
  test cases or entire test suites.
• Selenium-IDE has a recording feature, which will
  keep account of user actions as they are
  performed and store them as a reusable script to
  play back.
• It also has a context menu (right-click)
  integrated with the Firefox browser, which allows
  the user to pick from a list of assertions and
  verifications for the selected location.
• Offers full editing of test cases.
• Although it is a Firefox only add-on, tests
  created in it can also be run against other
  browsers by using Selenium-RC specifying the
  name of the test suite on the command line.
