How to automate mouse clicks with Selenium Python?

Hi Ian,

Automating mouse clicks is one of the most common uses of Selenium WebDriver. Any web application is composed of several UI components which mostly consist of links, buttons, menus, and checkboxes. These elements require some action from users in order to complete a certain operation. A user can either click on them or fill in text fields. In order to automate such tasks a developer can use Selenium WebDriver. This software allows you to programmatically control the browser and simulate user interactions with the web application under test.

The following blog covers some basic manipulations with the mouse and then demonstrates how to programmatically click on links and buttons using Python.
