ReTest review
Generates Java-focused regression tests from Selenium examples, with Golden Master reviews.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ReTest is a suite of tools for automating web application testing, aimed at developers and testers maintaining Selenium-based tests. Its AI-based test generation draws on example Selenium tests or Selenium IDE recordings to create functional and visual regression tests. That makes it a fit for Java teams looking to extend existing test coverage with visual checks, rather than teams seeking a language-agnostic testing system.
The core workflow centers on Golden Masters: test results are compared against stored baselines, differences are reported, and selected elements or attributes can be filtered or ignored. Reviewers can accept or ignore changes through the review GUI. Depending on the product and setup, data and comparisons can be kept locally or handled on ReTest servers. The suite supports execution through Java, IDEs and build systems including Maven and Gradle, with integrations for Jenkins and Travis CI. This Java and Selenium ecosystem fit is its clearest strength, though it also limits its appeal for teams working in other languages or outside that toolchain.
ReTest offers a free, open-source browser extension, but that should not be mistaken for a free edition of the entire product suite. The enterprise solution is sold through sales contact, and the published details do not provide a tier-by-tier price breakdown. Support channels include email, chat and documentation, and the listed compliance feature is SSO/SAML. Choose ReTest if your team uses Java and Selenium and wants visual regression review alongside functional regression testing. Teams that need broader language support or want clear self-serve pricing across the suite should consider alternatives.
