Automatic execution of objects in a user interface

Embodiments are directed to traversing and mapping a user interface. In one scenario, a computer system performs a method for traversing and mapping a user interface that includes the following: rendering a user interface (UI) based on data received from an information source, constructing an element collection with UI elements, the element collection describing relationships that exist between the UI elements, traversing the element collection to identify various node element types, identifying, within a pre-defined action set, an action associated with at least one of the identified node element types, executing the identified action against the identified node element types, and logging at least one network request resulting from the executed action.
