SpotQA Alternative

AI-powered web automation tools have significantly transformed the software testing landscape, providing smarter, faster, and more efficient ways to test web applications. These tools leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to enhance test automation. SpotQA’s Virtuoso is one such tool.

Test Automation with testRigor

There are several reasons why SpotQA’s Virtuoso may not be the ideal choice for your testing needs, particularly when considering factors like speed, maintenance, quality, and practical usage. While Virtuoso offers valuable features for test automation, it may not provide the best value or flexibility for every organization. The tool that you use for E2E testing should be as simple as possible and help in achieving a minimum number of bugs in production. It is possible with the available advanced AI technologies and intelligent AI agents. One such tool that you can rely on is testRigor.

testRigor is a codeless automation tool powered by AL and ML technologies that help generate/create easy and automatic test scripts and data in plain English. With testRigor, test script maintenance requires almost zero effort. Read here how you can decrease 99.5% of your test maintenance time.

You can build 15X more automation tests than Selenium/Playwright. Your manual testers can build 4X more tests than Selenium QA automation engineers. Isn’t it fascinating?

testRigor distinguishes itself with a range of advanced features and benefits that make it particularly suitable for teams looking to optimize their testing processes.

Let’s look more in detail at the testRigor’s core features.

• Costless Deployment: testRigor is a cloud-hosted tool, so you don’t have to spend your time, effort, and money setting up a huge infrastructure for test automation. You need to subscribe to a suitable plan, and then you can use the tool to create/generate test scripts.
• English Scripts: With testRigor, you don’t need to depend on any scripting language. testRigor, with its AI capabilities, helps you to create scripts in parsed plain English. The test scripts will be more like application feature statements from a user point of view. Also, testRigor provides other ways of generating test scripts:
  • Generative AI features: testRigor can generate test cases; you just need to provide a plain English test case description. Here, you can select the number of test cases to be generated by AI.
  • Record and playback: This feature works mainly with the Chrome browser. You can record the UI interactions, which testRigor will convert into test scripts.
  • Import/copy from test management tools: You can copy/import manual test cases from test management tools such as TestRail, PractiTest, ALM, etc., to run directly as automated tests with testRigor’s AI.
• testRigor Locators: One of the main reasons traditional automation tools fail to build trust is false positive bugs. Those bugs happen mainly due to a change in the DOM structure. Those tools use the DOM properties of elements to locate them. So, any change in those properties makes the test case fail.

testRigor, on the other hand, doesn’t rely on element locators. To be precise, testRigor doesn’t use element locators. You can mention the element name or its position in plain English, and that’s all. testRigor identifies the element and performs the requested action. To know more, you can read this blog: testRigor locators.

• Visual Testing: testRigor helps you execute visual testing on your application. With testRigor, you can compare the screens or elements from the previous execution and check for deviations using ML algorithms. With testRigor’s visual testing, we can ensure all the UI elements are loaded correctly on the page. Know more about visual testing using testRigor.
• Testing Powerhouse: Another issue with traditional testing is that you may need to maintain multiple testing frameworks for each type of testing, such as mobile, web, and desktop. To save you from this extra work and management, testRigor is here. It supports most of the testing types singlehandedly, so there is no need to create and maintain multiple frameworks.
  You can perform the below testing types using plain English commands:
  • Web and Mobile browser testing
  • Mobile testing
  • Desktop app testing
  • API testing
  • Visual testing
  • Accessibility testing
• Integrations: testRigor offers built-in integrations with popular CI/CD tools like Jenkins and CircleCI, test management systems like Zephyr and TestRail, defect tracking solutions like Jira and Pivotal Tracker, infrastructure providers like AWS and Azure, and communication tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams.
• Less Maintenance: testRigor reduces maintenance effort by providing multiple options to make the scripting easy and robust. testRigor claims a 99.5% decrease in test maintanance when compared to other tools.

Now, let’s see a sample test case written in testRigor. You may have noticed, how tests are written in simple English without using any element locators. Here is a testRigor top feature list.
