Chromium Browser Automation (CBA) is an open source project that enables developers to automate interactions with the Chrome browser. It is based on the Chromium web browser and can be used to automate tasks such as filling out forms, clicking on buttons, and scrolling through web pages. CBA can be used for tasks such as web scraping, data mining, and automated testing.
The CBA project was started by Google engineer Peter Krumins in 2009. Krumins had been working on a project called WebDriver, which was designed to automate web browsers for testing purposes. WebDriver lacked support for the Chrome browser, so Krumins decided to create his own solution. CBA was originally developed as a Google Code project. In 2012, it was relicensed under the Apache License 2.0 and moved to GitHub.
CBA is written in Java and uses the Selenium WebDriver library to communicate with the Chrome browser. It provides a high-level API that enables developers to write code that is easy to read and maintain. CBA also includes a number of features that are not available in Selenium, such as support for keyboard shortcuts and cookies.
CBA is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It can be installed from GitHub or from the Chrome Web Store.
