Here are some of the Q&As from this session:

Can Selenium, as a low-level browser automation tool, work well with fully testing low-code or more complex browser based apps?

Diego Molina: Selenium, being a low-level browser automation tool, can work effectively with both low-code and more complex browser-based applications. For low-code apps, Selenium can interact with the generated UI elements and workflows as long as they are standard HTML elements. For more complex applications, Selenium’s ability to handle intricate interactions, dynamic content, and various web technologies makes it suitable for comprehensive testing. However, the effectiveness largely depends on how well Selenium is configured and integrated with other tools or frameworks to handle specific testing requirements and complexities.
