Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you.

Selenium has the support of some of the largest browser vendors who have taken (or are taking) steps to make Selenium a native part of their browser. It is also the core technology in countless other browser automation tools, APIs and frameworks.

WebDriver is designed in a simpler and more concise programming interface along with addressing some limitations in the Selenium-RC API.

WebDriver is a compact Object Oriented API when compared to Selenium1.0

It drives the browser much more effectively and overcomes the limitations of Selenium 1.x which affected our functional test coverage, like the file upload or download, pop-ups and dialogs barrier
