History
Selenium is a portable framework for testing web applications and interaction with web application via browser. Selenium provides a playback tool for authoring functional tests without the need to learn a test scripting language (this tool is called Selenium IDE). It also provides a test domain-specific language (Selenese) to write tests in a number of popular programming languages, including C#, Groovy, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Scala. The tests can then run against most modern web browsers such as Google Chrome and Firefox. Selenium runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is open-source software released under the Apache License 2.0.
Selenium was originally developed by Jason Huggins in 2004 as an internal tool at ThoughtWorks. The name Selenium comes from a joke made by Huggins in an email, mocking a competitor named Mercury, saying that you can cure mercury poisoning by taking selenium supplements. The others that received the email took the name and ran with it.
