Scalable Selenium Cluster: Up & Running | Ivan Krutov

This talk will cover:
- Big Selenium cluster requirements
- Standard Selenium architecture and why it is not suitable for big clusters
- Client-side load balancing solution
- Server side load balancing (Ggr server): requirements, algorithms, an open-source implementation, how to launch the balancer
- What is inside worker nodes
- How to decrease resource consumption: creating lightweight nodes and using Docker
- Selenoid server: how it works, how to use inside big Selenium cluster, where else it could be used

I have started to use Selenoid. It's awesome alternative to frustrating setup of Selenium server. Big THANKS, Ivan!

Hi! Can you tell how to increase the browsers limit in Selenoid. Now is set on default (5 browsers). I have a Linux instance. Do I need to stop the Selenoid service then run a specific command to expand the number of browsers and then to start it again? If yes, can you tell me command? Thanks!

Biggest fail of this talk is that speaker didn't tell at the begging why they run run automation tests at load of 4000rpm?
Load which is more than one typical user can generate for application is load test.
So getting 4000rpm is a easy task for performance tests tools like Load runner or Jmeter or others all you need is a few load generators machines.
All the infrastructure you build around selenoid is a waist of time and money!!!

Do you really understand what is Selenoid for?

[@igorguba197]

Do you understand the difference between performance/load tests and a really F$^&ing huge amount of automated functional tests?
