Selenium Fundamentals

Overview of this book

We’ll begin this course by understanding the importance of automating tests. Then, we will learn how to choose good selectors for navigating through your web application while highlighting best practices and techniques. After writing your first tests, you will go through the object model to help create your own advanced test cases. You will learn how to analyze a test report, track timing errors, and separate real issues from "flaky" tests. You will also learn how to configure and connect to a local grid, a network grid, and a third-party service. By the end of the course, you will have the skills you need to run automated tests on your own web application.

Section 3
Configuring and Connecting to a Network Grid
A local Selenium Grid has a small downside: it is limited to the operating system of the local machine and the browsers supported by it, also the available RAM and CPU on that machine. A solution is to create Nodes in different machines and add them to our Hub. Let us see how we can overcome this challenge.
