form-automation

Automated form-filling using Selenium.

For processing a large amount of csv data to be filled into a form or multiple forms.

Written using Python with Selenium framework.

Notes:

Initially I used Mechanize module instead of Selenium, however I realised the webpage was dynamic which made it difficult to retrieve certain fields that required Javascript processing depending on previous inputs. After additional research I switched over to Selenium instead for browser automation. In retrospect, I highly recommend using Mechanize for 100% static forms as it is much easier to use. However, for dynamic forms, Selenium would be a better fit.
