Behat vs Selenium: What are the differences?
Developers describe Behat as "A BDD framework for testing your business expectations". It is an open source Behavior-Driven Development framework for PHP. It is a tool to support you in delivering software that matters through continuous communication, deliberate discovery and test-automation. On the other hand, Selenium is detailed as "Web Browser Automation". 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.
Behat can be classified as a tool in the "Testing Frameworks" category, while Selenium is grouped under "Browser Testing".
Behat and Selenium are both open source tools. It seems that Selenium with 14.9K GitHub stars and 4.97K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Behat with 3.05K GitHub stars and 519 GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, Selenium has a broader approval, being mentioned in 777 company stacks & 443 developers stacks; compared to Behat, which is listed in 13 company stacks and 7 developer stacks.
