Desktop and web test automation, in one tool

Most automation tools force a choice — drive the browser, or drive the Windows desktop. TITA Automation does both, from one recorder, on the same agents. Here is why that matters and how it works.

The hidden cost of a two-tool stack

Browser tools like Selenium, Playwright and Cypress are excellent at the web — but they can't touch a native Windows application. Desktop automation tools handle Windows GUIs but stop at the browser. The trouble is that real business workflows cross both:

• Log into a desktop ERP or accounting app, export a report, then upload it through a web portal.
• Pull data from a legacy Windows client and validate it in a SaaS dashboard.
• Drive a desktop installer, then verify the result in a browser.

Cover those with two separate tools and you inherit two scripts, two skill sets, two CI setups, and a brittle hand-off in the middle. The seam between "web tool" and "desktop tool" is where flakiness lives.

One recorder for both

With TITA you record a single workflow that spans a desktop app and a browser in one pass. It becomes a repeatable test case with an expected status and optional input data sets — no framework to assemble, no glue code between tools.

• Record once — clicks, typing, and navigation across desktop and web, captured together.
• Run anywhere — on a fleet of your own agents; route a run to any available machine.
• Headless or visible — web tests can run headless for speed; desktop GUI automation runs in a visible session.
• Proof built in — every run keeps a step timeline, output log, and screenshots.
• On a schedule — nightly regressions and hourly checks, with results in the cloud portal.

Who it's for

• QA teams testing products that span a desktop client and a web app.
• Ops / RPA teams automating back-office processes that touch legacy Windows software and modern SaaS.
• Anyone currently gluing a web framework and a desktop tool together and maintaining the seam.

How it works

Install the Windows app (Designer + agent + engine), record a workflow, turn it into a test case, and run it from Designer or the web portal. The full walkthrough is in the getting-started guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can one tool really automate both desktop and web?

Yes — that's the core idea. TITA runs native Windows desktop (GUI) automation and web/browser automation from the same Designer and the same agents, including workflows that cross between them.

Do I need to write code?

No. TITA is record-based: perform the task once and it captures a repeatable workflow. You add expected results and input data to make it a verifiable test.

Where do the tests run?

On your own agents — machines you control. Web tests can run headless for speed; desktop automation runs in a visible interactive session.
