Screenster
Screenster is a UI regression testing tool for automating tests of web interfaces.
What Screenster is
Screenster is a UI regression testing tool for automating tests of web interfaces. It can record actions on web pages without code, element IDs, checks, or assertions, then compare a test run with a baseline to identify new, removed, or changed visual and page content. Smart selectors can find elements after they move or change and adjust timeouts. Developers can also write JavaScript or Java tests using the Selenium API. A locally installed server runs offline, and Screenster says its online servers stopped running after August 1, 2023; local use is free without restrictions. Installation requires Windows, with Windows 8, 8.1, 10, Server 2012, and Server 2016 listed. Local browser support includes Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Standard and Premium list JIRA integration. Real-device testing is not supported.
Good
- Records web actions without code or assertions
- Finds visual and page-content changes against a baseline
- Supports JavaScript and Java tests using Selenium API
- Locally installed server works offline
- Free local use without restrictions
Watch out
- Requires Windows for server installation
- Does not support real-device testing
- Online servers stopped running after August 1, 2023
Who it suits
Screenster may suit teams that want to automate web interface checks, including non-technical testers and developers. It is also an option for Windows users who need local offline runs.
Verdict
Screenster combines no-code recording and baseline comparisons with options for coded tests and offline local use. Its Windows installation requirement and discontinued online servers are important considerations.
