INTRODUCTION: There are various tools for automation such as Rational Robot, WinRunner, LoadRunner etc. Selenium is another tool, albeit lesser known, which is open source and has its own benefits. It is a test automation tool for web based applications. It is used for functional testing and can successfully automate large test suites. Selenium uses JavaScript and I-frame to embed a test automation engine in the user’s browser. This technique can work with any JavaScript-enabled browser and the tests run directly in the browser itself. Selenium currently provides client drivers for the scripting languages Python, Ruby, Perl, Java, PHP, C#
