Compare Buildkite vs. Screenwriter

Deploy the open-source buildkite-agent within your own environment for optimal speed, enhanced control, and robust security. This agent is responsible for checking out your source code, executing tailored hooks and overrides, and subsequently carrying out your build tasks, ensuring that your source code remains securely on your own infrastructure. You can easily install the agent via a variety of packages and binaries compatible with numerous platforms and architectures, such as Ubuntu, Debian, Mac, Windows, Docker, and many others. With its artifact and metadata storage capabilities, the agent facilitates share-nothing, state-free build jobs that can be effortlessly distributed and scaled across multiple agents. You have the flexibility to run as many build agents as you require (up to 10,000 connected per account), all while maintaining smooth operations. The open-source Elastic CI Stack for AWS provides a straightforward method to maintain a scalable CI stack that adapts to your needs within your own AWS account. Alternatively, if you prefer a more personalized approach, you have the option to leverage the tools with which you are already familiar in your production environments, such as Packer and Terraform, allowing for a seamless integration of your existing workflows. This adaptability ensures that your CI/CD processes can evolve alongside your project requirements.

Accelerate the building, execution, and scaling of UI tests by a factor of 30, all without writing any code and ensuring a flake-free experience. You can launch your first test in five minutes or less by simply outlining user flows in everyday language, and Screenwriter will handle the rest seamlessly. Utilizing advanced AI models, we craft autonomous agents that navigate your browser and interact with your application just like a genuine user would. By describing a user flow in conversational terms, our AI takes over the task, meaning no coding skills or engineering personnel are necessary. You have complete control over your test suite, allowing you to define extra checks and adjust steps directly within the app, while Screenwriter manages the underlying processes. All tests are securely stored and executed on Screenwriter's dedicated infrastructure, eliminating any need for access to your codebase. Traditional test scripts can be unreliable and cumbersome as your application scales, but Screenwriter's AI adjusts to your evolving application, highlighting only genuine issues. Additionally, you can review each execution playback directly within the Screenwriter app, ensuring transparency and facilitating easy troubleshooting. With this innovative approach, you can focus more on development and less on maintenance.
