Introduction

Modern web platforms are dynamic, stateful, and heavily protected, making simple automation brittle and unreliable. This system provides a unified framework for web automation and testing, combining scraping, browser control, and workflow logic to handle complex user journeys, authenticated sessions, and data extraction reliably.

Why Web Automation Matters

• Automates repetitive and complex browser-based workflows
• Supports testing, scraping, and operational automation in one system
• Handles dynamic and JavaScript-heavy websites reliably
• Scales automation tasks without manual intervention

Core Features

Feature	Description
Multi-Layer Automation Engine	Combines browser automation and data extraction into resilient workflows.
Browser Automation Support	Automates Chrome and Firefox using Playwright, Selenium, or Puppeteer.
Session & State Handling	Maintains cookies, tokens, and authenticated sessions across steps.
Automation Testing Capabilities	Supports regression tests, flow validation, and UI checks.
Rate Limiting & Pacing	Applies controlled delays to mimic real-user behavior.
Modular Workflow Design	Builds reusable automation pipelines with clear stages.
Logging & Monitoring	Tracks execution status, errors, and performance metrics.
Scalable Execution	Runs automation jobs concurrently using worker-based execution.

How It Works

Trigger / Input	Core Automation Logic	Output	Safety Controls
Workflow definition	Define steps, selectors, and logic	Automation job created	Validation rules
Browser session	Launch isolated browser context	Active session	Fingerprint separation
Page interaction	Navigate, click, type, submit	Page actions completed	Timeouts, retries
Data capture	Extract page data or verify UI state	Structured output	Selector checks
Error handling	Detect failures and retry	Job completion	Backoff logic
Monitoring	Track execution metrics	Logs & reports	Auto-fail thresholds

FAQs

Q: Is this suitable for both testing and automation?
Yes. The framework supports UI testing, workflow automation, and scraping in a single system.

Q: Can it handle authenticated flows?
Yes. Sessions, cookies, and tokens are preserved across workflow steps.

Q: Does it support multiple browsers?
Yes. Chrome and Firefox are supported via Playwright, Selenium, and Puppeteer.

Q: Is it scalable?
Yes. Automation jobs can be distributed across multiple workers.
