Selenium Grid enables distributed test execution across multiple browsers and platforms. However, its native capabilities lack extensibility for custom reporting, dynamic node management, authentication, and advanced load balancing. This paper presents a for Selenium Grid 4, allowing third-party plugins to inject custom logic at key lifecycle events. We implement a reference plugin that adds real-time test monitoring, dynamic node provisioning via Docker, and a custom dashboard. Evaluation shows minimal performance overhead (≤8%) and significant improvements in scalability and observability. : Running tests in Docker containers (via Selenoid)
