Selenium IDE:

This is a Record and Playback tool with no programming support, it is a prototype tool and not suitable for complex Test Design.

Selenium RC:

This is outdated.

Selenium Grid:

It is only for Test Execution/ Parallel Testing and doesn’t support Test Design. 

• As a result, we are now left with only one tool for creating and executing Test cases, that is Selenium WebDriver.
• Selenium WebDriver supports Java, C#.NET, Python, Perl, Ruby, and PHP. Nowadays most Selenium Testers are choosing Java, so i’ts recommended to select Java for Selenium.
• Selenium is not an all-inclusive Test Tool, so it requires third-party plugins and frameworks to broaden the scope of testing.
• Select Selenium Tool/s,  Third Part Plugins, and Frameworks.
• (In Real-time, Test Lead or Test Manager selects the required software for the Test Environment by considering the team members’ interests and their previous experience.)
