Selenium with Python Framework #12 | Implement Screenshot Utility
Hello everyone! 👋
Welcome back to the Selenium with Python Framework Series.
In Session #12, we will learn how to implement a complete Screenshot Utility inside your Selenium Python automation framework. This is a powerful feature used in real-time projects to capture screenshots automatically on test failures.

How to create a screenshot utility file in Python
How to generate unique screenshot file names using timestamps
How to create screenshot storage folders automatically
Using os and datetime modules
