Components of Selenium

It’s the time to look into each component

Selenium IDE(Selenium Integrated Development Environment)is a firefox plugin. It is used to record and playback test scripts.

Selenium RC(Selenium Remote Control) is a framework that allows to write test cases in any programming language.

Selenium RC comprises of two parts:

• Client libraries for the preferred computer language
• A server that launches and kills browsers automatically

Selenium Web driver is the most important components of the entire Selenium framework. It is used to automate web application testing to verify that it works as expected. It supports many browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Safari.

Selenium Grid provide an easy way to run tests in parallel on multiple machines.
