Introduction
In some cases, web pages and applications require physical clicks or keystrokes to perform certain operations. You can simulate the use of a mouse and keyboard to automate these tasks.
Simulating mouse and keyboard actions provides an alternative when automating tasks in software that doesn't support UI and Web actions. This option allows businesses to automate any application.
