Lab experimentation is essential for inquiry-based learning, yet there is a drawback with<br \/>\ntraditional hands-on labs in the high costs associated with equipment, space, and maintenance staff.<br \/>\nVirtual laboratories are helpful to reduce these costs. This paper enriches the virtual lab<br \/>\necosystem by providing an integrated environment to automate experimentation tasks. In particular,<br \/>\nour environment supports: (i) scripting and running experiments on virtual labs, and (ii) collecting<br \/>\nand analyzing data from the experiments. The current implementation of our environment supports<br \/>\nvirtual labs created with the authoring tool Easy Java\/Javascript Simulations.
