We use Selenium for Functionality Testing, and have tried it for Usability
work. The main way that we have tried to use for Usability is to record and
playback user interactions with a site. The challenge is often the script
needs some editing. So I don't think it is ready out of the box.

I have also tried to use it as way of automating GOMS KLM metrics (doing
this by hand is tedious), but this needs allot more work.
