What is GUI Automation?
What does 'GUI Automation' mean?
Software that operates a computer's graphical interface the way a person would, moving a cursor, clicking buttons, typing into fields and reading what is on screen. It is used where no API exists, letting scripts or AI agents drive desktop and browser applications directly. Common uses include repetitive back-office tasks, legacy system data entry and automated interface testing.
