Quoting from
WebDriver
W3C Proposed Recommendation 26 April 2018

This version:
   https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/PR-webdriver1-20180426/
Latest version of Web Driver 1:
   https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver1/

Abstract:

WebDriver is a remote control interface that enables introspection and
control of user agents. It provides a platform- and language-neutral
wire protocol as a way for out-of-process programs to remotely instruct
the behavior of web browsers.

Provided is a set of interfaces to discover and manipulate DOM elements
in web documents and to control the behavior of a user agent. It is
primarily intended to allow web authors to write tests that automate a
user agent from a separate controlling process, but may also be used in
such a way as to allow in-browser scripts to control a — possibly
separate — browser.
