Yes, it will work. As long as you execute the test in any automation tool processing also javascript (e.g. in a browser, not just HTTP requests), it will create a user session. Then it's up to you how you need to differentiate between the real user and the automation tool session (likely by using user tag). Just be sure you don't have any exclusions on IP addresses or cost control  in your web application - then the user session is not captured.

Hi,

You have here an article about Dynatrace +  Selenium.

It can provide you some ideas.

Hi 
Thanks for the response  and reference link.

There are 5selenium script exist, they all perform   separate actions. out of 5 only 3 are detected in Dynatrace.

but 2 are not detected . there is no exclusion on IP addresses or cost control.

Did you check if in those missing action you get the Dynatrace JS?

Hi,
We had the same need. We modified the UserAgent in the Selenium script and then we created a RequestAttribute in order to filter on the request header with the userAgent parameter.
