Getting Started with Selenium — quiz

A teammate says "let's record the test in Selenium IDE and then export it as a Selenium WebDriver script for the suite." Which statement most accurately reflects how each component fits into a professional automation pipeline?

• Selenium IDE is the recommended tool for production test suites — WebDriver is only for advanced cases
• Selenium IDE is a record-and-playback Chrome/Firefox extension useful for prototyping or smoke tests; WebDriver is the programmatic API your committed tests should use; Grid distributes WebDriver tests across remote browsers
• WebDriver, Grid, and IDE are interchangeable names for the same library
• Grid is a recorder; IDE is a CLI runner; WebDriver is a deprecated component
