Design a Test Automation Framework with Selenium and Java

Using Logback

Explore how to implement Logback to enhance logging performance in Java-based test automation frameworks. Understand configuration with logback.xml, log levels hierarchy, and practical setup for logging to console and files. This lesson prepares you for integrating automatic logging in future steps.

Here, we can find a reason to use logback over log4j.
