## What it is
Hound is an Elixir library for browser automation and writing integration tests, implementing the WebDriver Wire Protocol. It supports multiple simultaneous browser sessions with Selenium, ChromeDriver, and PhantomJS drivers.

## Use cases
- write integration tests for a Phoenix app in ExUnit
- automate filling and submitting web forms
- run multiple browser sessions simultaneously in tests
- test JavaScript-heavy single-page apps
- scrape or navigate pages programmatically from Elixir

## When to choose
- you're writing Elixir/Phoenix integration tests with ExUnit
- you need WebDriver-protocol browser automation from Elixir
- you want multiple concurrent browser sessions in tests

## When to avoid
- you need a actively developed tool with recent feature work
- you're testing outside the Elixir ecosystem
- you need WebDriver BiDi or modern protocol features beyond the wire protocol

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: testing, e2e-testing
- domain: testing, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: windows
- tags: elixir, webdriver, selenium, browser-automation, integration-testing, exunit, phoenix, linux, macos
