UI.Vision RPA

UI.Vision RPA (formerly Kantu Selenium IDE) is an open source browser extension that provides a browser automation and web scraping solution. It is designed for creating and running Selenium-like scripts for web browser automation tasks, and it can be used for various purposes, including regression testing. Here’s how UI.Vision RPA can be used for regression testing:

  • Record and replay: UI.Vision RPA allows users to record their interactions with a web application, creating a script that can later be replayed to automate repetitive tasks. The record and replay functionality is beneficial for creating regression test scripts that mimic user interactions.
  • Selenium-compatible: The tool is built on Selenium WebDriver, making it compatible with Selenium commands. If you are familiar with Selenium and transitioning to UI.Vision RPA for regression testing may be relatively seamless.
  • Scripting support: While UI.Vision RPA provides a simple record-and-replay...
