Selenium-IDE
IDE stands for Integrated Development
Environment. Which is used for Record and Play
back the scripts. It is an Add on for Mozilla
Firefox, which means we can download the Selenium
IDE from Mozilla Firefox and we can Record and
Run the scripts in Mozilla Firefox only.
Selenium IDE is accountable for user actions.
We can Run the Recorded scripts against other
browsers by using Selenium RC.

Selenium-RC
RC stands for Remote Control. It is a Server
and launches the Browser. It acts as a API and
Library of Selenium. We need to configure the
Selenium RC with the supported language, then we
can automate the application.

Selenium-Grid
Selenium Grid is used for launching the
multiple browsers with supported operating system
in parallel. We can run the scripts on
different browsers in parallel. It allows you
to easily run multiple tests in parallel, on
multiple machines, in a heterogeneous
environment.

Steps to start with Selenium!
1) Begin write and run tests in Firefox.
Selenium IDE is a Firefox add-on that records
clicks, typing, and other actions to make a test,
which you can play back in the browser. 2)
Customize your language, your browser.
Selenium Remote Control (RC) runs your tests in
multiple browsers and platforms. Tweak your tests
in your preferred language. 3) Deploy scale
out, speed up Selenium Grid extends Selenium
RC to distribute your tests across multiple
servers, saving you time by running tests in
parallel.

Selenium Commands
Actions are commands that generally manipulate
the state of the application. They do things like
click this link and select that option.
Can be called with AndWait suffix, e.g.
clickAndWait. Accessors examine the state
of the application and store the results in
variables, e.g. storeTitle. They are also
used to automatically generate Assertions.
Assertions are like Accessors, but verify that
the state of the application conforms to what is
expected. Eg. make sure the page title is X,
verify that this checkbox is checked. All
Selenium Assertions can be used in 3 modes
assert, verify, and waitFor. For example,
you can assertText, verifyText and
waitForText.
