selenium-grid Getting started with selenium-grid What is Selenium Grid?
Example
Selenium-Grid is a configuration of Hub & Node which allows you to run your tests on different machines against different browser combinations in parallel. That is, running multiple tests at the same time against different machines running different browsers on different operating systems. In other words Selenium Grid supports running the tests in Distributed Environment.
When to use it
- To run your tests against multiple browsers, multiple versions of browser, and browsers running on different operating systems. This will ensure that the application you are testing is fully compatible with a wide range of browser-O.S combinations.
- To reduce the time it takes for the test suite to complete a test pass. Lets say you setup your Grid to run 8 tests at a time, your execution would finish 8 times faster as compared to your normal run.
Selenium-Grid is used to speed up the execution of a test by using multiple machines to run tests in parallel.
