Browser automation: observe, act, verify

Transcript

A browser click is an action, not proof of success. A useful automation loop observes, acts, and verifies the result.

First inspect the current page. A screenshot shows appearance. A page snapshot can expose text, controls, and selectors.

Choose a target from that observation. If the page changes, inspect it again instead of trusting an old location.

Before acting, name the expected result. That might be a destination page, a changed status, or a visible confirmation.

Wait for the expected condition, then take a fresh observation. A delay alone cannot tell you whether the action worked.

If the result is absent, report what is unconfirmed. Inspect before retrying an action that could run twice.

Keep the before state, action, and observed outcome together. Action Browser from Lattices documents tools for this workflow.
