From launching the app to your first automated test run that takes over your recurring clicks and data entry — in six short steps. No scripting, no coding required.
Automation Studio runs as a standalone .exe — no installation, no
administrator rights required. Recording and playback are available right away, without
any license (see Installation & Configuration for
details).
Create a new project and select the target application by its process name. While you're at it, set the starting position for recording and playback — monitor, fullscreen, or a fixed resolution — so the same workflow starts reproducibly on every test run.
Simply use the target application as usual — clicks, double-clicks, dragging, scrolling
and keyboard input all turn automatically into named test steps, each with an image anchor
around the click point plus the window and control names. A floating recording toolbar
shows the current status. Hotkeys: F8 starts or resumes recording,
F9 stops it, ESC cancels.
Run the recorded test case automatically again via SendInput. Image-anchor search finds targets again even after small layout shifts, failed steps are retried automatically, and "Stop on error" can be enabled optionally. A test case can also be resumed from any chosen step or repeated automatically 1 to 999 times, with a live progress indicator.
After the run, open the automatically generated HTML report from within the application with a single click — including status, a step table, screenshots, and diff images for any failed image comparisons.
Test cases can be filed in arbitrarily nested folders and moved via a target-folder dialog. Export and import can be limited to all, none, or manually selected test cases — the folder structure is preserved either way.
A project can hold any number of test cases — e.g. "Login", "Create order", "Export report". As the list grows over time, test cases can be organized in arbitrarily nested folders and moved via a target-folder dialog. Export and import can be targeted at "all", "none", or manually selected test cases, restoring the folder structure on import.
Starting a new recording for a test case that already has steps appends the new steps instead of replacing the existing ones — handy for extending an existing test case step by step without having to record it from scratch.
Tip: Recording and playback work without restriction even without an active license. The trial-period lock only applies when saving, exporting, or creating a new project — see Installation & Configuration for details.
