Selenium automates browsers. 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. Create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, scale and distribute scripts across many environments, then you want to use Selenium WebDriver, a collection of language specific bindings to drive a browser - the way it is meant to be driven.
Selenium WebDriver

Selenium is a powerful tool for automating web browsers. It is primarily used for testing web applications, allowing developers to create automated tests that drive the browser as a user would. The flexibility of Selenium enables it to be used not only for testing but also for automating mundane web-based tasks, which can save time and reduce errors.
Selenium supports multiple programming languages through specific bindings and can work across various browsers and operating systems.
