Selenium automates web browsers through WebDriver and related tools, enabling functional tests across browsers and languages, with Grid supporting distributed execution across multiple machines or browser environments in a test infrastructure.
Teams testing web applications across browser configurations
Tests need robust synchronization. Grid infrastructure needs administration.

Selenium is a useful option for teams testing web applications across browser configurations. Automate one important user journey with explicit assertions and reliable element locators before expanding the suite. Start with a small, representative task so you can check the results before extending the setup.
Separate test data from browser actions and use Grid only when parallel execution justifies the extra infrastructure. Consider the practical trade-off: tests need robust synchronization.
