Browserbase

Browserbase provides hosted browser sessions for approved workflows such as testing or reading a rendered page.

When does an approved page need a browser?

If an app fills in part of a page after it loads, the initial file may lack the text a visitor sees. A hosted browser can show the rendered page for an approved check. Use a page you own or have permission to check.

What should you check before using a hosted session?

Choose what the browser may open and avoid real customer data for test work. Check whether your session settings retain logs or recordings and who can see them. Close the session when the check is finished.

What does a browser hour measure?

Browserbase prices time spent in browser sessions and lists separate limits for concurrency and session length. Check what your plan includes, what data it keeps and how long a typical approved task would need a browser.

What does a visitor see after a fictional results page finishes loading?

Draw an owned test page with the message Loading classes and a final list of two classes. Keep the exercise on paper.

  1. Separate the states
    Write what appears first and what would confirm the real result has arrived.
  2. Choose what to keep
    Record the page and expected result. Avoid retaining a recording unless it helps the approved test.
