Selenium WebDriver
If you want to create robust, browser-based regression automation suites
and tests, scale and distribute scripts across many environments, then you
want to use Selenium WebDriver, a collection of language specific bindings
to drive a browser - the way it is meant to be driven.
Selenium IDE
If you want to create quick bug reproduction scripts, create scripts to aid
in automation-aided exploratory testing, then you want to use Selenium IDE;
a Chrome, Firefox and Edge add-on that will do simple record-and-playback of
interactions with the browser.
Selenium Grid
If you want to scale by distributing and running tests on several machines
and manage multiple environments from a central point, making it easy to run
the tests against a vast combination of browsers/OS, then you want to use
Selenium Grid.
