Execute Selenium Tests in Docker

Selenium grid assists with running automated tests in different operating systems and on different browsers. UI tests could be expensive to setup so we need virtual machines with all the dependencies however sometimes virtual machines consume a lot of memory and leads to problems such as hanging browser sessions or slower test execution. That’s why an easy solution to run UI tests is Dockers containers.
