For tests that are long-running or require a significant amount of computing resources we will want to implement a more scalable automated testing solution. Fortunately there are a several ways to accomplish this. In this section of Mastering Jenkins we will learn some tricks we can employ to assist us when the need arises to scale our automated testing solutions.

The Selenium Grid
