In this article, we will learn to install Selenium 4 Grid with you in a very simple language. As you know, Selenium 4 was launched recently, and then Selenium 4 Grid released its last stable version 4.1.2.

If you want to run tests in parallel across multiple machines, then Grid is for you.

Grid allows the execution of WebDriver scripts on remote machines (virtual or real) by routing commands sent by the client to remote browser instances and to manage different browser versions and browser configurations centrally.

For the reasons I listed, Grid has always been one of the first addresses for QA Engineers who want to save time by running their automated tests in parallel. According to the Test Suite structure, it offers great convenience by allowing tests to be run in more than one browser at the same time.

Some purposes and main functionalities of it are as follows;

  • The central entry point for all tests
  • Management and control of the nodes/environment where the browsers run
  • Scaling
  • Running tests in parallel
  • Cross-platform testing
  • Load balancing
