What Screenster is

Screenster is a UI regression testing tool for automating checks of web interfaces. It can record actions on web pages without code, then compare later runs with a baseline to find new, removed, or changed visual and page content. Smart selectors can adapt when page elements move or change, and tests can also be written in JavaScript or Java using the Selenium API. Screenster's locally installed server can operate offline. The company says it stopped running its online servers after August 1, 2023, and local use is free without restrictions. Installation requires Windows; listed systems include Windows 8, 8.1, 10, Server 2012, and Server 2016. Local browser documentation lists Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. A free plan is listed, along with per-tester monthly plans from $25 a month. Standard and Premium include JIRA integration. Screenster supports live browser testing and automated execution, but not real-device testing.

Who it suits

Screenster may suit non-technical testers who want to record web actions without code, as well as developers writing JavaScript or Java tests. It is for teams able to install the server on Windows and use desktop browsers.
