Selenium vs Panther: What are the differences?
What is Selenium? 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.
What is Panther? A browser testing and web crawling library for PHP and Symfony. It is a convenient standalone library to scrape websites and to run end-to-end tests using real browsers.
Selenium and Panther can be categorized as "Browser Testing" tools.
Selenium and Panther are both open source tools. Selenium with 17.5K GitHub stars and 5.63K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Panther with 2.01K GitHub stars and 126 GitHub forks.
