Insights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Usability | |||
| Ease of Use for All Team Members |
testRigor: testRigor allows users to write tests in plain English or natural language, which is a significant advantage for non-technical users and teams that want to avoid the complexities of learning a new testing language. Functionize: Functionize, on the other hand, offers a no-code interface but still relies heavily on visual test creation, where users need to interact with the UI. While this is also user-friendly, testRigor's natural language-based approach can be seen as more intuitive, especially for teams that prioritize communication in business language rather than UI interactions.
|
||
| Generative AI-based Test Creation |
testRigor: You can easily generate entire automated tests based on test case descriptions using testRigor's Generative AI engine. Functionize: Functionize first records user actions to gain context, uses AI to analyze them, and then suggests intelligent test steps.
|
||
| NLP-based Test Creation |
testRigor: This is the easiest platform to write test cases in since it only requires plain English statements. Functionize: TestGPT is Functionize's NLP tool for creating plain English tests. However, this is a newer feature and is not as mature as testRigor's approach.
|
||
| Supported Applications | |||
| Desktop Web Testing |
Functionize is strong in cross-browser and cross-platform testing as well, but testRigor’s flexibility in handling complex, dynamic workflows (including hybrid apps, embedded web views in mobile apps, and different device configurations) may be better suited for more diverse testing needs. testRigor supports desktop web, mobile web, desktop native app, and mobile app testing for Android and iOS, i.e., basically everything. Use either emulators or actual physical devices for testing, as your choice.
|
||
| Mobile Web Testing | |||
| Desktop Native Application Testing | |||
| Native and Hybrid Mobile App Testing - Android and iOS | |||
| Supported Testing Types | |||
| UI Testing | testRigor helps you build all end-to-end tests up to 15X faster. | ||
| End-to-End Testing | |||
| Data-driven Testing | |||
| Cross-browser Testing | |||
| API Testing | |||
| Continuous Testing | |||
| Database Testing | |||
| Visual Testing | |||
| Shift-left Testing | |||
| Test Case Creation Features | |||
| Behavior-Driven Test Generation | Both tools allow behavior-driven test generation via NLP support. | ||
| Reusable Rules/ Subroutines |
testRigor and Functionize both support reusable rules. However, Functionize requires recording the test steps as Page Objects. Recording and then enabling the Page Objects requires many clicks/steps from the user. testRigor saves the reusable rules separately in plain English. Simply write the name of the rules in the test case to use it. This approach is more convenient and user-friendly.
|
||
| Email Testing |
testRigor supports sending emails, receiving emails, sending attachments, and validating these three scenarios using plain English easily. Functionize supports email testing but requires many user clicks since it records the user's actions.
|
||
| Multi-Factor Authentication(MFA) | Both tools support MFA via SMS and email. | ||
| Captcha Resolution | testRigor helps automate image-to-text and Google Re-Captcha easily. Functionize doesn't support captcha resolution. | ||
| SMS Support |
testRigor supports sending SMS using Twilio. You can validate if the SMS was sent, delivered, or failed, as well as its contents. Functionize also provides SMS support.
|
||
| Phone Call Support |
testRigor uses Twilio to provide phone call support. It can validate that a call is ringing, answered, etc. Functionize does not offer phone call support.
|
||
| Geolocation Testing | testRigor works with geo locations and can emulate “moving” the device. Functionize does not provide any geolocation support. | ||
| File Upload | Both testRigor and Functionize support file upload features. | ||
| Audio Testing | testRigor enables audio testing by recording, comparing, playing, and validating audio files in tests with simple commands such as check that audio is playing. |
||
| Downloaded File Testing |
testRigor verifies file downloads and validates their contents using simple commands such as Functionize requires training via “Architect” for actions and validation steps, which is not as convenient.
|
||
| Video Testing |
With testRigor, for example, you can validate that the video is playing with the simple command Functionize has no support for video testing.
|
||
| Test Execution Features | |||
| Run on Physical Devices |
testRigor supports emulator-based testing and also on physical devices(via third-party providers). Functionize supports emulator-based testing only.
|
||
| Parallel Test Runs | testRigor and Functionize support parallel test runs to achieve high-speed execution. | ||
| Customized Test Data |
testRigor generates data based on detected field type (we support about 50 types), and you can provide your test data. testRigor generates random data conforming to a specific format every time the test runs. Functionize also includes support for customized test data.
|
||
| Reporting Features | |||
| Screenshots and Reports | Both testRigor and Functionize provide good reporting features. | ||
| Recorded Video of Test Execution | testRigor provides a recorded video of test execution by default. Functionize requires enabling this feature on demand to start recording. | ||
| Maintenance | |||
| Self-healing | Both testRigor and Functionize provide self-healing capabilities. | ||
| Pricing | |||
| Free Trial |
testRigor provides unlimited free public access, as well as a 14-day trial. Setting up a Functionize trial is a lengthy process, offering just a 14-day free trial period. After signing up, you must contact their Account Manager to have the trial provisioned.

Apart from the simplistic test case design and execution, there are some advanced features that help you test your application using simple English commands.- Reusable Rules (Subroutines): You can easily create functions for the test steps that you use repeatedly. Write these Reusable Rules in plain English language and call them in test cases by simply writing their names. testRigor also lets you use AI to create these reusable rules. See the example of Reusable Rules and AI-based Reusable Rules. Also, there is built-in support for Salesforce reusable rules.
- Global Variables and Data Sets: You can import data from external files or create your own global variables and data sets in testRigor to use them in data-driven testing. See how to do data-driven testing with testRigor.
- 2FA, QR Code, and Captcha Resolution: testRigor easily manages the 2FA, QR Code, and Captcha resolution through its simple English commands.
- Email, Phone Call, and SMS Testing: Use simple English commands to test the email, phone calls, and SMS. These commands are useful for validating 2FA scenarios, with OTPs and authentication codes being sent to email, phone calls, or via phone text.
- File Upload/ Download Testing: Execute the test steps involving file download or file upload without the requirement of any third-party software. You can also validate the contents of the files using testRigor’s simple English commands.
- Database Testing: Execute database queries and validate the results fetched.
- Parallel Testing and CI/CD: For faster delivery cycles, you can completely rely on testRigor for parallel testing, AI, and automation testing to keep the CI/CD pipelines running smoothly.
- AI Features and LLM Testing: You can test AI features such as negative/positive intentions, true/false statements, sensitive information, etc. Also you can test LLMs (chatbots) using plain English.
