Selenium WebDriver and Many more.
Hello Readers,
Selenium and recently entered new test frameworks, such as Cypress, Playwright and many more automation tools are growing in the software testing industry.

If your browser or driver is updated, your tests are failing due to compatibility issues and you need to update or replace the browser driver as well as update the configuration in the script, and then you can execute your scripts tests.
