Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
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.
2. In software testing, test automation is the use of special
software to control the execution of test and the comparison
of actual outcomes to predicted outcomes.

6. 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
