SeleniumBase is an open-source framework built upon Selenium, simplifying browser automation. It offers a user-friendly interface with prebuilt methods and enhanced features. Key improvements include easier syntax, built-in tools like screenshot capturing, and advanced configurations. SeleniumBase handles dynamic content, JavaScript rendering, and anti-bot measures like Cloudflare. It's versatile, supporting web application testing, data scraping, performance monitoring, and visual testing. The framework integrates with testing frameworks like pytest and supports multiple browsers. Examples showcase its use in e-commerce testing and web scraping, including techniques for bypassing anti-bot measures.
