UI Test Generation
Point RoostGPT at your web application and get a complete, production-ready Playwright test suite — without writing a single line of test code.
RoostGPT's UI test generation analyzes your application like a real user would, discovers every testable workflow, generates structured Playwright tests with Page Object Model architecture, and keeps them healthy as your UI evolves — all through the same RoostGPT Web UI and CLI you already use.
How It Works
- Explore — AI navigates your application and discovers all testable workflows automatically
- Generate — Complete Playwright test suites are produced, ready to run — including Page Object Models
- Heal — As your UI changes, failing tests are automatically diagnosed and repaired
- Learn — The system gets smarter with every run, delivering faster and more accurate results over time
Core Capabilities
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Autonomous Discovery | Explores your web app and identifies every testable user journey — no manual test plans |
| Natural Language Tests | Generate tests from plain English descriptions, Word docs, PDFs, Excel sheets, or Gherkin files |
| Page Object Model | Produces enterprise-grade POM architecture with page classes, component objects, and resilient selectors |
| Self-Healing & Learning | Automatically diagnoses and repairs failing tests; gets smarter with every run |
| Authentication | Handles embedded login, Google OAuth, Okta SAML, MFA/OTP, and custom login scripts |
| Reports & Output | Professional PDF reports with screenshots, markdown summaries, structured scenario JSON, and multi-language support |
| CI/CD Integration | Headless execution, Docker support, pipeline-ready with GitHub Actions and Jenkins examples |
Getting Started
Web UI
- Create a new test and set Test Type to UI Test
- Select a vision-capable AI provider and model
- Provide your application URL
- Configure exploration options (mode, focus area, authentication)
- Execute — RoostGPT handles the rest

Traditional Approach vs. RoostGPT UI Tests
| Traditional Approach | With RoostGPT | |
|---|---|---|
| Test Creation | Weeks of manual writing | Minutes — fully automated |
| Test Maintenance | Constant manual updates | Self-healing — automatic |
| Coverage | Whatever testers have time for | Comprehensive — AI discovers what humans miss |
| Authentication Testing | Complex setup, manual scripting | Built-in — Google, Okta, OTP, custom scripts |
| Edge Cases | Often skipped due to time constraints | Automatic — dedicated edge case discovery |
| Cross-team Learning | Starts from zero every time | Site memory — gets smarter across runs |
| CI/CD Integration | Custom scripting required | Native — headless, non-interactive, Docker-ready |
| Reporting | Manual documentation | Automatic — PDFs, summaries, and structured JSON |
| Cost Visibility | Unknown AI spend | Full tracking — per-phase token usage and costs |
