What is front–end web application test automation?

The front–end refers to the user interface. Or in the case of web applications, the website. Everything that you can see and interact with is part of the front–end.

We automate the front–end to simulate the user experience of someone using the application. Through automation, we can pretend to be a user to make sure our site is working as expected.
