What’s the difference between Selenium IDE, WebDriver, and Grid?

Selenium has three main components: Selenium IDE, WebDriver, and Grid. Selenium IDE is a simple browser extension for recording and playing back test scripts without programming. It’s great for beginners but limited in flexibility. WebDriver is the core tool used for writing advanced automation scripts in languages like Java, Python, and C#. It interacts directly with browsers for more complex testing. Selenium Grid allows running tests on multiple machines and browsers in parallel, speeding up execution. If you're new, a Selenium course online for beginners can help you learn these tools step by step with real-time examples.
