What is Selenium Grid and how do I use it with headless browsers?

Selenium Grid is a tool that allows you to run tests on different machines and browsers simultaneously. When using headless browsers, you can run tests without a graphical user interface, which speeds up the testing process.

Can you explain how to set up Selenium Grid for headless testing?

Sure! First, you need to set up a Selenium Grid hub and nodes. Then, configure the nodes to use headless browsers like Chrome or Firefox by adding the appropriate options in your test scripts.

Are there any limitations to using headless browsers?

Yes, some limitations include potential differences in rendering compared to full browsers, and certain features like pop-ups or alerts may not behave the same way.
