Why choose a true No-Code platform like
ACCELQ, and not UiPath!
One Platform that seamlessly
connects to all your testing needs
ACCELQ vs UiPath – A Snapshot
Cloud-based modern platform | IDE based 1st Gen tool |
User experience focused design – simple to use | Old school – involves complex flowchart creations |
Intuitive and Natural UI flow enables Fast Adoption (~1-3 weeks) after a short training (4 days) | Needs specialized RPA Developers for complex automation scenarios |
Design first approach with Business process Application modelling | Based on “Given, When and Then” approach which gets too confusing when designing complex use cases |
Test development exponentially accelerates when scaling up automation | Script development becomes complex and slow when scaling up automation |
Maintenance significantly reduces when scaling up automation | Maintenance significantly increases when scaling up automation |
Seamless extendible approach for Web-Mobile-API in one codeless flow | Creating a seamless extendible flow is complex to design and not straight forward |
Embedded asset collaboration and management for Smart Test Plans & Governance | Requires a Separate UI Test Manager product |
One complete platform for test automation and test management of Web, UI and Mobile tests, with no Silos | Separate products needed to build one seamless Quality pipeline like UI Test Manager (ManageTests), UI Studio (Automate Tests), UI Orchestrator (Execute Tests), etc. |
Why ACCELQ is a better alternative to UiPath?
In-sprint Automation & Shift-left
Application functional abstraction | Not available |
Design & author tests parallel to the Application development enabling true shift-left | Not available |
AI-based Reconciliation of abstractions | Not available |
API, DB, and middleware Automation with UI | Available with complex engine module, not seamless |
Test Design
Universe-based visual Application modelling | Not available |
Test scenarios are modularized into Pages and User Actions | Flowchart based approach to create Test Scenarios/Activities which in involves a lot of designing overhead |
Page objects are naturally & automatically centralized in the repository, available to use across test scenarios | Objects are duplicated across libraries that may or may not get re-used |
Design is enforced with and intuitive and automatic Universe concept | Design is manually implemented, and complex use-case automation knowledge is limited to specialized “RPA Developers” on team |
Data-driven scenarios and Test Case data is inherent to scenario design | Data-driven is a disconnected step once test case is automated and creates additional overhead |
Parameterization with design alignment to input, environment, run-time, linking and more | Technically oriented variable concept defined after the test case is defined, with reduced modularity |
Automation Development
Codeless, natural-English coupled with page scanning and AI-based element identification | Locked down interface to define logic needing specialized training |
Logic editor provides readymade conditional rule validations, loops, etc., for real-life tests | Complex way to achieve business rule validations requiring user to build flowchart diagrams |
Logic editor provides seamless transition from UI to Mobile to DB to API to File etc., in a single scenario | Flowchart needs to be added, and logic is dis-integrated across steps |
AI-based robust object handling and self-healing (works seamlessly with Angular, iframes, Shadow DOMs, charts, SVG, canvas, etc.) | Traditional object interaction with limitations to handle complexity and newer tech stacks |
Behavior-driven predictive test designer for fast test creation and reusability of test assets | Every test case starts with blank slate, and tester needs to have framework knowledge |
Automated and AI-based reconciliation for UI and Object changes | No centralized handling, No reconciliation |
AI-driven data permutations auto-generate test cases providing accurate coverage | Not available |
Capture the structure of test data based on business semantics. Ensure data abstraction is consistently driven across test scenarios | Not available |
Seamlessly manage multiple variants of test data suitable for different test execution environments | Not available |
Cloud-driven automatic extendibility to newer technology stacks (UI controls, Databases, Mainframes, Files, etc.) | Manual process to create and extend tech stacks. Requires specialized skills |
Automation Execution
Cloud and Local Execution agents allow just-in-time execution against any tech stack | Cloud agent not natively supported |
Cross-OS, Cross-browser, Cross-Mobile execution natively packaged with same agent | Limited support with script setup approach |
In-built parallel execution with robust high-performance agent that’s scalable | No parallel execution for web/UI on one agent |
Docker support for Agent farm expansion with dynamic scalability and parallelization | Not supported |
Out of the box Integration with third party cloud infrastructure farms like Sauce Labs, Browserstacks, Perfecto, etc | Limited support with complex setup needing specialized skills |
Change Management
Naturalized model, (with referential integrity across pages, test steps, objects, and test suites), automates the change impact process… efficiently propagating changes across all test assets | Not available |
Objects are centrally managed in a common repository with full correlation to Application pages, so object changes are automatically reflected across all tests | Objects are not managed in a common shared model |
Collaborative platform on cloud with real time sharing, version control, “branching and merging” with intuitive design not requiring any special training or “source control” management skills | No real time asset sharing, no audit history tracking, no live version compares, no branching |
CI/CD & Tool Integrations
Bi-directional and Natively built synthesizer for Traceability tracking, coverage analysis, and requirements-based Test suite planning on a modern Web Interface on the cloud | Requires Separate UI Test Manager decoupled from UI Studio |
Two-way Defect creation, synchronization, and status tracking for complete suite management | Requires Separate UI Test Manager decoupled from UI Studio |
CI job execution with pre-set configurations to automatically execute test suites. Adapters support Jenkins, Team city, Bamboo, Azure DevOps, AutoRABIT, Copado, command line API, etc. | Technical integration needing synch rules with overheads via sperate UI Orchestrator |
Workflow orchestration with CI workflows | One-way test execution trigger with minimal feedback |
Technology Extendibility
Open concept of user extendibility to expand scope of existing technology stack, as well as build+import to extend for any new technology stack | Engine based concept requiring very specialized skill set |
Cloud-based community expansions significantly speed adoption of new technologies | Offline concept duplicates effort and high overhead and dependency of support |
No impact from upgrades | Needs migrations and upgrades |
Governance & Reporting
ACCELQ’s app universe and analytic-based algorithms drive automated Test Planning ensuring coverage | No intelligence in test planning and suite creation, flowchart style traditional planning |
Dynamic live results views with actionable reports to trigger reruns | Static Report is dumped on the IDE after test run |
Embedded screen captures, directly associated with automation interactions | Screen dump report that is separate from test result report |
Umbrella style re-run capability for suite re-executions and roll-up tracking | Not available |
