Discover Screens & Structure

Qaptly does not treat your product as a collection of screenshots. It sees your application as a structured interface made of screens, regions, and elements. This is the foundation of how Qaptly understands what your product is.

​
What Qaptly Discovers

When Qaptly connects to your application, it analyzes:

Screens & Views

All user-facing screens and their variations

Layout Regions

How the screen is divided into functional areas

UI Components

Buttons, inputs, lists, and interactive containers

Element Hierarchy

How elements are nested and organized

Position & Alignment

Relative positioning and spatial relationships
This allows Qaptly to recognize the same interface even when screen size, resolution, or device changes.

​
Why Structure Matters

Traditional automation relies on fragile selectors or pixel matching. Qaptly instead builds a layout-aware model of your UI. That means Qaptly knows:
  • Which elements belong to which screen
  • Which components are part of the same region
  • How the interface is organized
So when something changes, Qaptly can tell whether it is a real product change or just a visual variation.

​
From UI to Product Understanding

By discovering screen structure, Qaptly creates a stable reference frame for everything that follows.
All user actions, state changes, and test results are anchored to this structure — not to brittle scripts.
This is how Qaptly can understand your product instead of just clicking through it.
