In this webinar, Harshit Paul, Product & Growth Manager from LambdaTest and Sanjay Kumar, Inventor and creator SelectorsHub, hitch up to educate various fundamentals around XPath and Locators in Selenium. They will also touch base on how selector’s hub solves problems solves various challenges testers face during test automation in relation to XPath locators.
