As you can read in Brief History of The Selenium Project, Selenium RC was the main Selenium project for a long time, before the WebDriver/Selenium merge brought up Selenium 2, the newest and more powerful tool. Selenium 1 is still actively supported (mostly in maintenance mode) and provides some features that may not be available in Selenium 2 for a while, including support for several languages (Java, Javascript, Ruby, PHP, Python, Perl and C#) and support for almost every browser out there.
Watij stands for Web Application Testing in Java. Watij is a Java API created to allow for the automation of web applications. Inspired by the simplicity of Watir and enhanced by the power of Java, Watij automates functional testing of web applications through real web browsers. WebSpec is Watij’s new cross browser and cross platform api for testing web applications. It works with IE, Mozilla, and Safari on their respective platforms for Windows, Linux, and Mac. You can write your scripts using Java or Ruby (via JRuby). Watij’s WebSpec API provides a JRuby extension so you get the power of Ruby and Java combined.
Cacique is an opensource GPL automation tool. Based in Selenium to record the tests script, it manages all cases, Data Set, Suites executions and Script editing. It is a collaborative tool with a library of scripts and suites to share with other users.
WebDriver is a tool for automating web application testing. Selenium-WebDriver was developed to better support dynamic web pages where elements of a page may change without the page itself being reloaded. WebDriver’s goal is to supply a well-designed object-oriented API that provides improved support for modern advanced web-app testing problems. The primary new feature in Selenium 2.0 is the integration of the WebDriver API. Selenium-WebDriver makes direct calls to the browser using each browser’s native support for automation. How these direct calls are made, and the features they support depends on the browser you are using. It drives the browser directly using the browser’s built in support for automation.
Expect is a tool for automating interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, etc. Expect is a program to automate interactions with programs that expose a text terminal interface. Expect uses pseudo terminals (Unix) or emulates a console (Windows), starts the target program, and then communicates with it, via the terminal or console interface. Tk, another Tcl extension, can be used to provide a GUI.
