The below are the four different components in Selenium:
- Selenium IDE
- Selenium RC
- Selenium WebDriver
- Selenium Grid
Selenium RC used to the popular and most used Selenium component in the market. But the drawback of Selenium RC is to use Proxy server as mediator for communicating the Selenium commands to the browser. Hence in Selenium RC, we need to launch the Server for Server for executing the automation scripts.
Selenium WebDriver has come-up with the Native Drivers concept which has removed the need for launching the Proxy server for executing the automation scripts. Hence in Selenium WebDriver, direct communication between the Selenium Command and Browser got established. Once the Selenium WebDriver got introduced into the market, it became popular day by day and is the major component of Selenium in the current market.
Since Selenium WebDriver is the most used, popular and powerful component of Selenium, lets learn it in detailed from the below posts:
