Selenium with Docker for Test Case Execution
What is docker ? Docker is the next step beyond virtualisation. A Docker image contains everything it needs to run, independent of the Linux server on which it lives: a copy of the operating system, a database, code, configuration files, dependencies, and so on. Images can also be packaged and shared with other Docker admins. Why selenium execution using Docker ?

It’s particularly helpful because running Selenium grid on virtual machines or even separate machines takes up a lot of unnecessary computing overhead. Docker images share some system resources, so you need less resources than a virtual machine. You can easily cram several nodes in a single instance. Both Docker and Compose also handle the networking part e
