## What it is
SeleniumBase is an all-in-one Python browser automation framework for web testing, crawling, and scraping, built on Selenium/WebDriver with pytest integration. It includes CDP Mode and Stealthy Playwright Mode for bypassing bot detection, plus a test recorder, dashboard, and desktop GUI.

## Use cases
- write end-to-end UI tests with pytest in Python
- scrape websites without getting blocked by bot detection
- automate browser tasks with stealth Chromium control
- record browser actions and export them as test scripts
- run Selenium tests in parallel with reports and dashboards
- bypass CAPTCHAs and bot-detection checks like Sannysoft
- generate test scripts from manual browser interactions

## When to choose
- you need Python-based E2E web testing with pytest, unittest, or behave
- you want automation or scraping that evades bot detection
- you want a recorder to generate test scripts from manual actions
- you need built-in reports, dashboards, screenshots, and smart waits

## When to avoid
- you need non-browser API testing or unit testing
- you prefer writing raw Selenium/Playwright without a framework layer
- your project is not Python-based
