Selenium is a portable software testing framework for web applications.
Selenium provides a record/playback tool for authoring tests without learning a test scripting language. Selenium provides a test domain specific language (DSL) to write tests in a number of popular programming languages, including Java, Ruby, Groovy, Python, PHP, and Perl. Test playback is possible in most modern web browsers. Selenium deploys on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh platforms.
It is open source software, released under the Apache 2.0 license and can be downloaded and used without charge. The latest side project is Selenium Grid, which provides a hub allowing the running of multiple Selenium tests concurrently on any number of local or remote systems, thus minimizing test execution time.

What is the NUnit Framework?
NUnit framework is port of JUnit framework from java and Extreme Programming (XP).
This is an open source product. You can download it from http://www.nunit.org. The NUnit framework is developed from ground up to make use of .NET framework functionalities. It uses an Attribute based programming model. It loads test assemblies in separate application domain hence we can test an application without restarting the NUnit test tools. The NUnit further watches a file/assembly change events and reload it as soon as they are changed. With these features in hand a developer can perform develop and test cycles sides by side.
We should also understand what NUnit Framework is not:
1)It is not Automated GUI tester.
2)It is not a scripting language, all test are written in .NET supported language e.g. C#, VC, VB.NET, J# etc.
3)It is not a benchmark tool.
4)Passing the entire unit test suite does not mean software is production ready.

What Is NUnit?
NUnit is a unit-testing framework for all .Net languages.
Initially ported from JUnit, the current production release, version 2.5, is the sixth major release of this xUnit based unit testing tool for Microsoft .NET. It is written entirely in C# and has been completely redesigned to take advantage of many .NET language features, for example custom attributes and other reflection related capabilities. NUnit brings xUnit to all .NET languages.
