What Is TestProject?

Software testing is an integral part of any SDLC process. To accommodate faster app development, product companies are now adopting automation testing. Among the new entrants, TestProject is a free test automation tool that supports web, mobile, and API testing.

However, as per a recent announcement, TestProject will reach end-of-life (EOL) on March 31st, 2023. This means that all the existing accounts will be deactivated on March 31st, 2023. In fact, from November 16th, 2022, this free platform disabled the creation of new accounts.

Considering this development, existing TestProject users face the complex challenge of finding a suitable test automation tool (or platform) that can replace TestProject easily. But before we talk about the replacement, let's first look at the disadvantages of TestProject.

Disadvantages of TestProject

TestProject is primarily a free and open-source record and playback tool designed on top of the Selenium and Appium frameworks. Here are some of the disadvantages of using a record and playback tool in automation testing:

High maintenance cost
Limited test coverage
Limited integration with third-party tools and systems
Limited features (in the basic version); advanced features incur extra costs

Using the TestProject tool, QA testers need to create separate test cases for mobile platforms like Android and iOS. Besides that, they need to also record the test cases separately for each of these platforms.

Here are some of the other limitations of TestProject:

Not supported for testing desktop and mainframe applications
Lack of in-built support for version control, thus requiring external connection to GitHub
No support for low-code development and uses an SDK plugin for complex use cases
Lack of in-house test management capabilities
CI/CD integration is not seamless.
Primitive or limited reporting capabilities
Requires Xpath expertise for element locators
Not backed by AI technology

Next, let's discuss why ACCELQ is the best replacement for TestProject.
