From launching the app to your first automated test run — in six short steps. No scripting, no coding required.
GUI Test Studio ships as a standalone x86 and x64 .exe — launch the one that
matches your target application's bitness (see
Installation & Configuration). No installation, no
administrator rights required.
Use "＋ New project" to give it a name, then pick the running application to test in the "Target window" dropdown. A first test case is created automatically.
The 🗂 "Project properties" button lets you set the monitor and target size for recording/playback, plus an optional log/crash directory to monitor — useful, but not required right away.
"⏺ Record" starts the capture — simply use the target application as usual. F8 sets an image checkpoint, F9 an AI check step, ESC stops recording. Every click and input appears instantly as a test step in the list.
"▶ Play" runs the recorded test case automatically again. The test run log shows every step live with its status; the step currently running is highlighted blue, completed steps green (passed) or red (failed).
"📄 Report" opens the automatically generated HTML report of the last run in your browser — including screenshots, diff images for failed comparisons, and any AI reasoning.
A project can hold any number of test cases — e.g. "Login", "Create order", "Export report". The test-case list on the left switches between them, "＋" adds a new one, ✏ renames it.
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 incrementally.
Tip: If a single step isn't enough (e.g. after fixing something mid test case), "▶ From here" replays from any chosen step onward instead of restarting the whole test case.
