ZenoTest combines a powerful automation core with an intuitive workflow for stable, maintainable, and framework-independent UI tests.
No matter whether your software is built with Qt, WinForms, WPF, Java, Web technologies, or a custom UI – ZenoTest detects and interacts with it effortlessly.
Extended support includes Qt 6.x.x applications (full property access, MinGW and MSVC toolchains), as well as Embarcadero C++ Builder (VCL) applications – without the need for plug-ins or framework restrictions.
ZenoTest automatically combines multiple UI attributes to uniquely and reliably identify UI elements across different technologies and implementations. Even when the UI layout changes or elements are reorganized, ZenoTest continues to recognize them correctly.
This results in stable test cases that significantly reduce test maintenance effort and minimize rework caused by UI changes.
ZenoTest provides Screen Compare functionality to automatically detect visual differences between screens or UI elements. It offers two robust comparison modes: Edge-Based, which focuses on structure and is tolerant to anti-aliasing, slight rendering shifts, and compression artifacts, and Pixel-Exact, which verifies precise pixel differences within defined tolerance and color delta.
This ensures that your application's appearance remains consistent across versions, reduces manual verification effort, and improves overall test reliability.
ZenoTest’s lightweight C-inspired scripting language is easy to learn. Advanced users can leverage loops, conditions, parameters, and global functions for complex automation scenarios.

ZenoTest’s scripting language combines simplicity with power. It supports method chaining, rich string operations, automatic type conversions, and advanced auto-completion.
This allows testers and developers alike to write clean, expressive, and maintainable test code without sacrificing flexibility.
Record your actions and let ZenoTest generate executable test scripts instantly. You can edit, extend, and reuse them – creating test automation in minutes, not hours.
Manage everything in one place: project files, test suites, and test cases. ZenoTest keeps your tests structured, maintainable, and scalable – even for large projects.
Every test run is automatically documented. Beautiful HTML reports with execution time, status, and detailed results give your team full transparency.
ZenoTest reports provide full traceability from test results back to the exact script location. Log entries include file names, test suites, test cases, and line numbers, allowing one-click navigation directly to the source of an issue.
This drastically reduces analysis time and improves collaboration across QA and development teams.
Run ZenoTest in GUI mode for manual testing or via command-line mode for full automation. Integrate it into your CI/CD pipelines to trigger tests automatically with each commit, nightly build, or release.
ZenoTest can be executed entirely via the command line, making it ideal for CI/CD environments. Select projects, test suites, or individual test cases, define report paths, and run tests fully unattended.
This ensures reliable automation for nightly builds, regression testing, and release validation.
ZenoTest offers deep, native integration with Qt 6 applications. It supports both MSVC and MinGW toolchains and provides direct access to internal Qt properties without requiring source code or application modifications.
Advanced widgets such as QTableWidget, QTreeWidget, and QTextBrowser are fully supported, enabling precise validation of complex UI states and content.
When an Application Under Test (AUT) is configured, ZenoTest automatically analyzes it to detect framework, compiler, architecture, and runtime details. This includes precise Qt version detection and compatibility checks before test execution.
Potential issues are identified early, resulting in faster setup, fewer runtime failures, and more predictable test execution.
With its integrated ShellProcess support, ZenoTest can start, monitor, and control external processes and tools. Capture standard output and error streams, set working directories and environment variables, and execute processes synchronously or asynchronously.
This enables automation beyond UI testing – including build steps, toolchains, PowerShell scripts, and system-level workflows.
ZenoTest is continuously evolving. Planned features include visual testing with OCR, parallel execution, Python and BDD (Gherkin) scripting, and integrations with Jenkins, GitLab, and more.
ZenoTest provides professional debugging capabilities directly within your test scripts. Set breakpoints, pause execution, step through code, or continue execution at any time. Scripts are executed in a controlled thread, allowing precise inspection and intervention during runtime.
This enables faster test development, easier root-cause analysis, and significantly reduces debugging time for complex automation scenarios.
ZenoTest automatically detects application crashes during test execution and captures all relevant evidence. Screenshots are taken at the moment of failure and saved alongside the project, making issues immediately reproducible.
Crash information and screenshots are directly linked in the report, enabling fast diagnosis and clear communication between testers and developers.
