Getting started with Selenium Grid
Instructions, step by step, showing how to run a simple Selenium Grid.
Selenium Grid allows the execution of WebDriver scripts on remote machines (virtual or real) by routing commands sent by the client to remote browser instances. It aims to provide an easy way to run tests in parallel on multiple machines.
Selenium Grid allows us to run tests in parallel on multiple machines, and to manage different browser versions and browser configurations centrally (instead of in each individual test).
Selenium Grid is not a silver bullet. It solves a subset of common delegation and distribution problems, but will for example not manage your infrastructure, and might not suit your specific needs.
Grid 4 takes advantage of a number of new technologies in order to facilitate scaling up while allowing local execution.
Selenium Grid 4 is a fresh implementation and does not share the codebase the previous version had.
To get all the details of Grid 4 components, understand how it works, and how to set up you own, please browse thorough the following sections.
