You’ve probably heard that Selenium 4 Alpha is now available.

After speaking with Simon Stewart, creator of the open-source project Selenium WebDriver, I compiled some of his favorite new features in this article.

What are the Pieces that Makeup Selenium Version 4?

First, let’s go over the basics.

When most folks hear “Selenium,” they automatically think of Selenium WebDriver.

Did you know, however, that there are two other significant pieces that make up the project: Those pieces are Selenium IDE and Selenium Grid.

Simon believes that Selenium 4 is an excellent point at which to reintroduce people to the various bits and pieces that make up the Selenium Project.

Let me introduce you to:

• What is Selenium WebDriver? Selenium WebDriveris an open-source API that allows you to programmatically interact with a browser on an operating system the way a real user would. It was created exclusively for browser automation.
• What is Selenium IDE? Selenium IDE is a record and playback automation tool.
• What is Selenium Grid– Selenium grid allows you to save time by spreading your tests across multiple machines.

Let’s dive into each to see what’s new!
