Different Components of Selenium Tool | Selenium Suite Explained for Beginners in Software Testing

In this video, we’ll clear one of the biggest confusions beginners have about Selenium.
Many people think Selenium is just one tool — but in reality, Selenium is a suite of tools, and each component has its own purpose.

We’ll walk through all the four components of Selenium, explain what each one does, where it is used, and most importantly — which ones actually matter in today’s real-world automation projects.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this video:
What Selenium IDE is and when it’s useful
Why Selenium RC existed and why it’s no longer used
Why Selenium WebDriver is the most important component and the heart of Selenium automation
How Selenium Grid helps in running tests faster using parallel execution
How all these components fit together as the Selenium Suite

This video is perfect if:
You’re new to Selenium
You’ve heard terms like IDE, WebDriver, Grid, but don’t fully understand them
You want a clear, practical explanation without unnecessary theory
By the end of this session, you’ll have a solid understanding of the Selenium toolset and a clear idea of where to focus your learning going forward.

👉 In the next video, we’ll go deeper into Selenium WebDriver, understand its architecture, and start working with it more practically.
