| Guidelines |
| Developing a web scraper/automation nowadays means coding a piece of software, effectively controlling a web browser.
This creates a great entry barrier for people without programming knowledge. The student will familiarize themselves with methods used in the web browser automation industry [1][2][3][4][5]. The student will design, implement, document, and test a toolkit for a user-friendly creation of declarative web automation. This toolkit will utilize its own data format for storing the automations; the student will implement an interpreter and a GUI editor for this format. The interpreter will be published as an installable package; the editor will be deployable as a web application, and all software will be published on GitHub. |
