About Selenium:
The Selenium-IDE provides for a browser plugin to develop test cases.These tests can then be exported to any supported programming language.
Selenium RC comes in two parts.
A server which automatically launches and kills browsers, and acts as a HTTP proxy for web requests from them.
Client libraries for your favorite computer language.
Selenium Grid: Coordinates multiple Selenium RC at the same time, to help speed test feedback.
"In-browser tests are inherently slow, but since commodity hardware is insanely cheap nowadays there is no excuse for not running all these tests in parallel on multiple machines and dramatically speeding up your feedback cycle. This is exactly what Selenium Grid is about."
The Key Differentiator with Simple Tests are
- Resource utilization benefit on using Selenium Grid
- The Browser plugin that eases the preparation of test cases
- Support for Javascript
- A more stable, capable iPhone driver
- Updated Android driver
