With our current setup for frontend tests, we generate static html files that are then opened with selenium by a nodejs script. This comes with the disadvantage, that we cannot (in all cases) test the behavior when submitting forms, which is something we want to do more often. There is https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/testing/tools/#liveservertestcase which could be used as a driver for the frontend tests. Even further, it turns out the linked documentation even provides an example of a selenium driven test, so we should investigate porting our frontend tests to Python.
