Selenium WebDriver – Managing Selenium Grid Infrastructure using Arquillian Cube

In the previous article, we saw how easily we could set up the selenium-grid infrastructure using docker. By using docker-compose file, we can setup the containers for the selenium grid. Then we can start our automated functional tests using the grid. Once the execution is done, we can issue a simple command to bring the entire selenium […]

Selenium WebDriver – How To Create A Disposable Selenium Grid Infrastructure using Docker

Selenium Grid – Overview: Selenium Grid is used to run our tests on different OS/browsers in parallel. It basically uses master-slaves (or hub-nodes) concept – where there is one master/hub and there are few slaves/nodes registered to the master/hub. When we send our tests to the master/hub for execution, based on the browser/OS requirements of
