Does UI testing like nothing I know of
We have struggled with testing in the past.
We used selenium, which is crazy powerful, but also pretty hard to use.
Along comes UIlicious, which does exactly what we need; which is to verify users can follow specified paths on a tool and do "things".
This is so incredibly simple to do with UIlicious that I wrote a test to login, browse to a specific page, create a test thing, check that the test thing was created and finally delete that test thing. It took me about 20 minutes.
And I think it has other uses as well; it can be triggered in a build pipeline, so it should be usable for testing staging, before automatically pushing to production if the test succeeds. That is next to figure out.
Another use case could be simply automating certain things that need to be clicked; like tools that you don't have api access to but can login. I'm thinking of resetting a stuck VPS for instance, that does not respond to ssh.
I still have to figure out what else we can do with it, but it looks super useful if you need to test [insert thing here] using a web interface.

Our team feels really proud of it, as we been through the exact struggles with selenium (and other test / automation tools)
And it's what motivated us like crazy to build this tool.
For your use cases with testing various builds - you may want to either look at our jobs scheduling. Or our CLI toolchain, which you can trigger via CI/CD
Our support team will be glad to assist and help you in the process
(For the folks in the selenium team - we still ā” the work you do - it is incredibly powerful, and inspires us : we simply wanted something easier to use for UI testing)
