About:
Selenium Server is a standalone server that acts as a proxy between your test scripts and browser drivers like ChromeDriver or GeckoDriver. It enables remote browser automation by translating WebDriver commands into browser-specific actions. This allows for scalable, cross-platform testing of web applications in various environments.
Key Features:
  • Acts as a central hub for WebDriver commands
  • Enables remote and distributed browser automation
  • Supports all major browsers via their respective drivers
  • Integrates with Selenium Grid for parallel test execution
Use Cases:
  • Running automated browser tests for web applications
  • Scaling test suites across multiple browsers and machines
  • Integrating browser testing into CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • Playwright – Playwright is a modern alternative with a single API that handles browser drivers internally, often offering faster execution and auto-waiting features.
  • Cypress – Cypress is an all-in-one testing framework that runs directly in the browser, offering a more developer-friendly experience but with architectural limitations on cross-browser testing.
