The app leaves a minimal footprint on computer performance, as it requires only low CPU and RAM to work properly. There are no other notable options available here. UPnP Tester also gives you the possibility to disable a selected UPnP service with the click of a button and a confirmation dialog. These details can be saved to a plain text document for closer inspection. The app immediately shows them in a tree view in the main frame, along with status information right beneath. So, you can select the type of devices to monitor such as basic, digital security camera, printers or media servers, along with the address family (IPv4 or IPv6). The interface is represented by a single window with a straightforward look, where the scanning procedure takes little time to finish.
