Question

Hi,

selenium supporting any kind of web application it may be angular, react or  normal web app. why protractor and other UI specific tool required. could u plz clarify on this.

Answer 1

Most of the Angular JS applications are entrenched with HTML attributes like ng-controller and ng-model.

Selenium locators cannot find such web elements with just Selenium code. Whereas Protractor can easily find and control Angular-specific locators in the attributes of web application.
