Options available in Selenium-IDE:

In comparision with other automation tools available, selenium is a lightweight and simple with fewer options.

Red Button:
The Red button on top right hand side of IDE tells that Selenium is in recording mode or not. Selenium IDE will not record any operation that you do on your computer apart from the events on Firefox browser window.

Run Button:
Run will execute the tests with different speeds.

TestRunner button:
Test Runner gives you nice browser interface to execute your tests and also gives summary of how many tests were executed, how many passed and failed. It also gives similar information on commands which were passed or failed. TestRunner is also available to tests developed in HTML Only.

If you open the option window by going to Option , you will see there are some self explanatory options available. For example, encoding of test files, timeout etc. You can also specify Selenium Core and Selenium IDE extensions on this page. Selenium extensions can be used to enhance the functionality provided by Selenium.
