Qontinui Web

Visual configuration builder for creating intelligent GUI automation workflows

What is Qontinui Web?

Qontinui Web is a browser-based visual builder that lets you create sophisticated GUI automation workflows without writing code. It uses a model-based approach where you define:

  • States - Different screens or conditions in your application
  • Actions - Operations to perform (click, type, wait, etc.)
  • Transitions - How to navigate between states
  • Images - Visual elements for state identification and targeting

Mock Execution: Test your automation logic directly in the browser without requiring a real GUI environment. Perfect for rapid iteration and development.

Key Concepts

Model-Based Automation

Unlike traditional script-based automation, Qontinui uses a state machine model. This means:

  • Automation adapts to unexpected changes (dialog boxes, popups)
  • State identification is visual, not position-based
  • Built-in pathfinding navigates through complex workflows
  • Easier to maintain and update as applications change

State Identification

States are identified by visual elements (images) on screen:

  • Upload screenshots of unique UI elements for each state
  • Set similarity thresholds for fuzzy matching
  • Mark images as required or optional
  • Multiple images can identify a single state

Visual Action Targeting

Actions can target elements visually:

  • Click on images instead of hardcoded coordinates
  • Actions adapt to element positions automatically
  • Support for offset clicks relative to images
  • Fallback to coordinate-based actions when needed

Typical Workflow

1

Create Your Project

Start a new automation project and give it a descriptive name

2

Define States

Add all the different screens/states in your application workflow

3

Upload Identifying Images

Capture screenshots of unique UI elements for state identification

4

Add Transitions

Connect states and define the actions to perform during transitions

5

Test with Mock Execution

Validate your automation logic in the browser

6

Export Configuration

Download the JSON configuration for use with Qontinui Runner

Advanced Features

Parallel States

Multiple states can be active simultaneously for complex UIs with overlays or multi-panel layouts

Conditional Actions

Actions can have conditions and continue-on-error flags for robust error handling

Image Library

Reuse images across multiple states and actions with a centralized image library

Export/Import

Save your work as JSON and share configurations with team members
