RemoteWebDriver is an implementation class of the WebDriver interface that a test script developer can use to execute their test scripts via the RemoteWebDriver server on a remote machine.

RemoteWebDriver : There are two parts to RemoteWebDriver:

  1. RemoteWebDriver server
  2. WebDriver client
  • The RemoteWebDriver server is a component that listens on a port for various requests from a RemoteWebDriver client. Once it receives the requests, it forwards them to Firefox Driver, IE Driver, or Chrome Driver depends on the browser.
  • When you execute your tests locally, the WebDriver client libraries talk to your Firefox Driver, IE Driver, or Chrome Driver directly. Now, when you try to execute your tests remotely, the WebDriver client libraries talk to the RemoteWebDriver server and the server talks to either the Firefox Driver, IE Driver, or Chrome Driver, whichever the WebDriver client asks for.
