Selenium Grid (Architecture)
Let us now understand the architecture of Selenium Grid in this post, before you set up Selenium Grid 4 for your tests.
The architecture of Selenium Grid 4 is designed to be more flexible and scalable than previous versions, with a focus on reducing latency and improving performance.
Some of the key features of Selenium Grid 4 architecture are:
- Hub and Node: Selenium Grid 4 has a hub and node architecture, where the hub acts as the central point of control for the tests, and the nodes are the machines where the tests are executed.
- Distributed Execution: Selenium Grid 4 supports distributed execution of tests, which means that tests can be run on multiple machines in parallel, allowing for faster test execution and reduced test times.
- Flexible Configuration: Selenium Grid 4 allows for more flexible configuration of tests, with the ability to define custom capabilities and options for each node, allowing for more fine-grained control over the test environment.
- Better Performance: Selenium Grid 4 has been designed with performance in mind, with improvements to reduce latency and improve test execution times.
- Support for Docker: Selenium Grid 4 has built-in support for Docker, allowing for easy deployment and scaling of the test environment.
Overall, the architecture of Selenium Grid 4 is designed to be more flexible, scalable, and performant than previous versions, making it a great choice for running Selenium tests at scale.
