Selenium Grid has two versions at the moment – Grid 1 and Grid 2 – but the newer Grid 2 is now
more widely used. It has been designed to follow a hub and node fashion, where a single device
known as the hub runs the test, and the nodes are constituted of various other machines that do
the execution. Selenium-Grid supports distributed test execution.
In this Slideshare, we will see following things:
 When should one use Selenium-Grid
 Clouds and Selenium-Grid
 Some of the benefits of using the cloud

When should one use Selenium-Grid
• A Selenium-Grid is extremely useful for reducing time on large and long-running test suites by executing the test pass on
multiple machines at the same time, thereby dividing the time consumed by the number of machines used.
• The infrastructure, however, comes at a significant cost, and so becomes cumbersome to maintain. A large organization can
afford to run such a setup, which offers its own benefits, such as control over the system, and greater efficiency.
Clouds and Selenium-Grid
• Using a public/private cloud enables the use of Selenium-Grid on the cloud, thereby entirely eradicating the need for any infrastructure and
ensuing maintenance costs.
• Clouds are available for use throughout the day and help substantially increase developer productivity. Also, the use of a cloud provides various
feedback mechanisms such as logging, screenshots and video support, thereby appreciably reducing debugging times.
Some of the benefits of using the cloud are
 Support for any new testing platform or updates for existing ones is almost immediate
 Another feature of a public/private cloud is the ability to scale testing based on one’s specific requirements. It is up to you if you wish to choose
to test against 10 or 50 browsers at the same time.
 As already mentioned before, debugging becomes appreciably easier.

Leveraging Selenium Grid in Public/Private Cloud
The only downside to using a cloud is that since one has to use the internet the use of a cloud is usually
much slower as compared to a local grid, because the test has to travel to and from the cloud via a network
that might not always be reliable.
