From interactive portfolios and product galleries to immersive storytelling sites and modern landing pages, many websites today embrace horizontal scrolling to break away from traditional layouts and deliver a unique user experience.
This sideways navigation offers a cinematic feel, guiding users through content like frames in a storyboard. But with this creativity comes complexity.
That’s why automated testing becomes crucial — to ensure every scroll right, scroll left, scroll to start, and scroll to end behaves smoothly across all devices and browsers.
Functional, fluid, and flawless — that's what horizontal scrolling should be, and automated tests help make that promise real.
When I scroll
Use this step to simulate horizontal scroll actions in your automated test scenarios.
It's especially useful for testing horizontally designed websites, such as interactive portfolios, sliders, or product showcases — where elements are revealed as the user scrolls sideways.
These are the scroll directions you can control during testing:
- When I scroll left
- When I scroll right
- When I scroll to start
- When I scroll to the end
This allows you to ensure that all content is accessible, visible, and functioning correctly — regardless of where it sits on the horizontal axis.

Conclusion
Horizontal scrolling brings creativity — but also complexity.
One missed scroll, one hidden button, or one broken layout can ruin the experience.
That’s why we test.
With automation, we validate every step: scroll left, scroll right, jump to start, reach the end — no surprises, no slip-ups.
After all, great design deserves great testing —
because smooth scrolling isn’t just satisfying... It’s silent proof that everything works. ✅🎯
