With browser automation a web browser can be instructed to repeat the same, possibly long task automatically or at will. In daily use browser automation can be used to fill forms, extract data from web pages, or provide authentication to a service. Browser automation is often used for automating testing of web applications. The same tests can be repeated after each change and in different browsers to verify correct behavior.
