Framework Fundamentals — quiz

Your team has written 200 Selenium tests. Each test creates its own WebDriver instance, has its own screenshot logic, and reads credentials from hardcoded strings. Tests are hard to maintain and frequently break on minor UI changes. Which statement best describes the core problem?

• The team should switch from Selenium to Playwright, which requires less setup
• The tests lack a framework — shared infrastructure (driver lifecycle, config, screenshots, waits) is duplicated everywhere. A framework centralises these so tests only describe behaviour, not plumbing
• The tests need more assertions per scenario to improve coverage
• The team should hire dedicated automation engineers to maintain each test independently
