SeleniumBase is a Python-based framework designed for end-to-end web application testing and automated web scraping. It provides a unified interface for browser orchestration, managing browser lifecycles, and executing complex interaction sequences across multiple browser vendors and operating systems. The framework simplifies the development of automation workflows by handling driver provisioning, element synchronization, and project scaffolding.
The project distinguishes itself through specialized stealth configurations that modify browser fingerprints to bypass anti-bot detection mechanisms. It supports multi-threaded test parallelization to reduce execution time and includes robust diagnostic capabilities, such as automatic screenshot and log capture upon failure. Users can also leverage hybrid testing modes that combine automated sequences with manual validation steps, as well as visual execution tools to monitor browser interactions in real time.
The framework covers a broad range of automation requirements, including test retry logic, custom script injection, and comprehensive reporting in multiple formats. It manages complex browser states across windows, tabs, and iframes while providing command-line abstractions for environment configuration and test execution. The project is distributed as a package with documentation and tools to assist in the setup and maintenance of automated browser interaction suites.
