In their own words
Screenster
Screenster is a UI regression testing tool for automating tests of web interfaces. Its no-code recorder captures actions on web pages without requiring code, element IDs, checks, or assertions. Test runs can be compared with a baseline to identify new, deleted, or changed visual and page content. Smart selectors can find page elements after they move or change and adjust timeouts automatically. Users can also write JavaScript or Java tests against the Selenium API within Screenster. The locally installed server can run offline. Screenster says it stopped running its online servers after August 1, 2023, and made local use free without restrictions. The installation guide requires Windows and lists Windows 8, 8.1, 10, Server 2012, and Server 2016; local browser documentation lists Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Plans include Free at free, Basic at $25 a month, Standard at $45 a month, and Premium at $75 a month, each billed per tester per month.
