Browser Automation

Definitions

1. The programmatic control of a web browser to simulate user actions such as navigation, clicking, typing, screenshot capture, or DOM inspection. Browser automation is widely used for end-to-end testing, scraping, demos, and repetitive web workflows.

   In plain English: Controlling a browser through code instead of by hand.

   Example: "The CI suite used browser automation to verify the checkout flow, cookie banner behavior, and multi-step account recovery screens."
