(1) Visual Web Automation and UI Testing

UI.Vision RPA's computer-vision visual UI testing commands allow you to write automated visual tests with UI.Vision RPA - this makes UI.Vision RPA the first and only Chrome and Firefox extension (and Selenium IDE) that has "👁👁 eyes". A huge benefit of doing visual tests is that you are not just checking one element or two elements at a time, you’re checking a whole section or page in one visual assertion.

The visual UI testing and browser automation commands of UI.Vision RPA help web designers and developers to verify and validate the layout of websites and canvas elements. UI.Vision RPA can read and recognize images and text inside canvas elements, images and videos.

UI.Vision RPA can resize the browser's window in order to emulate various resolutions. This is particularly useful to test layouts on different browser resolutions, and to validate visually perfect mobile, web, and native apps.

(2) Visual Desktop Automation for Windows, Mac and Linux

UI.Vision RPA can not only see and automate everything inside the web browser. It uses image and text recognition technology (e. g. screen scraping) to automate your desktop as well (Robotic Process Automation, RPA). UI.Vision RPA’s eyes can read images and words on your desktop and UI.Vision RPA’s hands can click, move, drag & drop and type.

The desktop automation feature requires the installation of the freeware UI.Vision RPA Extension Modules (XModules). This is a separate software available for Windows, Mac and Linux. It adds the “eyes” and “hands” to UI.Vision RPA.

(3) Selenium IDE++ for hybrid web automation

The freeware RPA software includes standard Selenium IDE commands for general web automation, web testing, form filling & web scraping. But UI.Vision RPA has a different design philosophy then the classic Selenium IDE. It is a record & replay tool for automated testing just like the classic Selenium IDE, but even more it is a "swiss army knife" for general web automation like Selenium IDE web scraping, automating file uploads and autofill form filling. So it has many features that the classic IDE does not (want to) have. For example, you can run your macros directly from the browser as bookmarks or even embed them on your website. If there’s an activity you have to do repeatedly, just create a web macro for it. The next time you need to do it, the entire macro will run at the click of a button and do the work for you.

This short screencast demos how to automate form filling on our online ocr website with UI.Vision RPA. We record the macro, insert a PAUSE (3 seconds) command manually and then replay the macro twice.

The UI.Vision RPA software is a open-source alternative to iMacros and Selenium IDE, and supports all important Selenium IDE commands. When you invest the time to learn UI.Vision RPA, you learn Selenium IDE at the same time.

In addition, UI.Vision RPA includes new web automation commands that are not found in the classic Selenium IDE, such as the ability to write and read CSV files (data-driven testing), visual checks, file download automation, PDF testing and the ability to take full page and desktop screenshots.

Integrate RPA with your favorite tools and scripting language(s)

UI.Vision RPA has a an extensive command line API. This allows UI.Vision RPA to integrate with any application (e. g. Jenkins, Cucumber, CI/CD tools,...) and any programming or scripting language (e. g. C#, Python, Powershell,...). The API includes detailed error reporting for reliable non-stop operation.

In other words, UI.Vision RPA can be remote controlled from any other scripting language via its command line API. And in the other direction, UI.Vision RPA itself can call other scripts and programs via its XRun command.

UI.Vision RPA software has Enterprise-Grade Security. Your data never leaves your machine.

With its strict open-source security approach, UI.Vision RPA is more secure then any other Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution in the market: UI.Vision RPA and its XModules are designed to fit the highest security and data protection standards for Enterprise use. All processing is done locally on your machine. The XModules only communicate with the open-source UI.Vision RPA browser extension.

UI Vision RPA does not send any data back to us or any other place. You can easily verify this statement because all internet communication - like loading websites in your browser - is done inside the open-source UI.Vision RPA core. The fact that UI.Vision RPA is open-source under an official Open-Source license guarantees you the freedom to run, study, share and modify the software.

The only exception to the "all data is processed locally" rule is the OCR screen scraping feature and that is why it is disabled by default. Only when you explicitly enable it on the OCR tab - and use an OCR command - does it send images of text to our OCR.space cloud service for text recognition. A 100% local OCR option is available as part of our UI.Vision RPA Enterprise plans.
