Selenium IDE is not only recording tool : it is an integrated development environment (IDE)

WebDriver is designed in a simpler and more concise programming interface along with addressing some limitations in the Selenium-RC API.

With the release of Selenium 2.0, the Selenium Server now has built-in Grid functionality

Selenium is an automation testing tool used to automate various types of applications. It consists of three main parts Selenium IDE, Selenium RC & Selenium WebDriver. In today’s date the WebDriver is the latest version of the Selenium. In today’s article we are seeing what is actual “Difference between selenium IDE, RC & WebDriver

The Selenium IDE is basically something having record & playback options which present in the every automation tool like QTP, Sliktest etc. & also has very good user interface. The core part of Selenium IDE is based on JavaScript & also supports different extension in it. Along with record & playback, you can use Selenium IDE for multiple dynamic stuffs. The main limitation of Selenium IDE is that, it supported in only Firefox browser. If you want to execute your scripts on different browsers, then you can use Selenium RC (Selenium Remote Control). The Selenium RC supports multiple browsers like IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera etc.

The code of WebDriver look different than RC & IDE, it allows you to convert the IDE code to WD & RC code. As IDE supports with the user interface but WebDirver & RC does not have UI, we have to use core programming language in it.

The main limitation of Selenium IDE is that, it supported in only Firefox browser. If you want to execute your scripts on different browsers, then you can use Selenium RC (Selenium Remote Control). The Selenium RC supports multiple browsers like IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera etc.

It also supports multiple languages like Java, Ruby, C#, Perl, Python etc. You have to get expertise in one language (preferred Java language) & code in selenium RC. The application under test in developed in C# & it does not matter the to create your script in the Java or C# or in any language. It’s totally independent on which your testing is carried out. Similar to language independent it is also platform independent, same code will work on Windows OS, Linux, Mac & Solaris. Most common extension used in the selenium RC is the Java Extension, because Java is platform independent language. Similar to Selenium IDE, the RC is also has its limitations. Before start testing, we have to start & stop the server to execute you test. So to overcome the all issues & increase the scope of Selenium RC, introduced new version of SE called Selenium WebDriver. WebDirver is come up with the some cool features. Also supports the multiple languages. Main feature over the Selenium RC is that we don’t have to start the server in the Selenium WebDriver. One of the cool feature is that it supports the Android Testing & iPhone testing as well.

The code of WebDriver look different than RC & IDE, it allows you to convert the IDE code to WD & RC code. As IDE supports with the user interface but WebDriver & RC does not have UI, we have to use core programming language in it.

Selenium WebDriver on the other hand interacts with the browser natively. It uses the browser's native support for automation to drive them without using the support of selenium server. WebDrive has a driver for each browser. E.g for running a test on Firefox, WebDriver will use Firefox Driver to drive the automation test.  Because of this, it provides a better interaction with the browser then Selenium RC. The APIs written for WebDriver are completely object oriented which makes it easier to work with.

The Selenium Server is needed in order to run either Selenium RC style scripts or Remote Selenium WebDriver ones. The 2.x server is a drop-in replacement for the old Selenium RC server and is designed to be backwards compatible with your existing infrastructure.

Selenium Webdriver learning for software testing is not a big task if you have basic knowledge of any one Webdriver supported software development language like Java.
