Which action is best used for automating interactions with GUI applications?

UI Automation Actions are specifically designed to interact with graphical user interface (GUI) applications. They allow you to automate tasks by simulating user interactions, such as clicking buttons, entering text into fields, and navigating through the application's interface. This capability is crucial for automating processes that require user inputs or actions in applications that do not offer direct API access or data integration options.

In contrast, Web Form Actions are tailored for web applications and might not provide the necessary functionalities for desktop GUI applications. File Actions focus on managing files and folders, such as creating, copying, or moving files, which does not involve direct interaction with the GUI of an application. Database Actions deal with database operations like querying, inserting, or updating records, which again is unrelated to GUI interactions. Thus, UI Automation Actions emerge as the most suitable choice for automating processes that rely on user interfaces in applications.
