Features
Key features of Selenoid include its small footprint and ability to run browsers within isolated Docker environments. This unique approach ensures that each testing session has its dedicated container, which eliminates the potential for cross-session data leaks and provides a more stable testing environment. Additionally, being able to manage browser versions, screen resolutions, and other parameters at runtime makes it versatile and highly configurable.
Moreover, Selenoid can be easily integrated with existing CI/CD pipelines due to its native support for Docker. It also provides live browser screen access during tests, detailed logs for each test session, and automatic video recording capabilities. These features make troubleshooting easier and enhance the overall productivity of the development cycle.
