Selenium WebDriver with Java - Basics to Advanced and Frameworks - What is log4j and its Usage in Selenium Framework

The video tutorial introduces Log4J, a logging framework, and its integration with Selenium frameworks. It highlights the importance of logging in automated tests, addressing client questions about logging practices, error logs, and timestamps. The tutorial concludes with a promise to explore Log4J's practical implementation in future sessions.
