Can Selenium be used for performance testing? If yes, how?

Yes, Selenium can be used for performance testing, but it is not a dedicated performance testing tool like JMeter or Gatling. However, by integrating Selenium software testing with tools like Apache JMeter, you can measure load times and browser performance. Selenium can simulate user interactions and capture metrics like page load times and response times using browser performance logs. Additionally, combining Selenium with performance monitoring tools helps identify bottlenecks in real-time user scenarios. While Selenium is primarily used for functional testing, it plays a valuable role in assessing application responsiveness when integrated with the right performance testing tools.
