Workflow

1

Setup

Enable local remote debugging and confirm browser endpoint reachability.

2

Execute

Run click, type, select, upload, and navigation actions with explicit checks.

3

Verify

Confirm resulting URL, text, or UI state, then capture evidence.

Best practices

Use explicit selectors

Avoid vague selectors so automation remains stable across minor UI changes.

Add clear timeouts

Set max wait times per step so a stuck page does not block the whole run.

Protect high-risk actions

Check conditions before submit, purchase, delete, or other irreversible steps.

Capture final evidence

Store key outputs and screenshots as completion proof.
