connects to all your testing needs
Global enterprise customers use ACCELQ
 |
 |
|---|---|
| Cloud based modern platform | Record and Playback requires knowledge of JavaScript for complex uses cases |
| User experience focused design, simple to use | Shallow product interface requiring to automate using flow diagram |
| Intuitive and Natural UI flow enables Fast Adoption (~1-3 weeks) | Adoption rate is more than 3 months |
| Design first approach with Business process Application modelling | Relies more on action recording with makes it difficult to improvise on coverage |

Why ACCELQ is a better alternative to Testim?
In-sprint Automation & Shift-left
|
|
|---|---|
| Application functional abstraction | Not available |
| Design & author tests parallel to Application development enabling true shift-left | Not available |
| AI based Re-conciliation of abstraction | Not available |
| API, DB and middleware Automation with UI | Available with complex engine module, not seamless. Need Knowledge of JavaScript. |
Test Design
|
|
|---|---|
| Universe based visual Application modelling | Collective Visual blueprint not available. Separate flow wise blueprints are shown. |
| Test scenarios are modularized into Pages and User Actions | Tests are created using record and playback visualizer. |
| Page objects are naturally & automatically centralized across test scenarios | Objects are duplicated across libraries that may or may not get re-used |
| Design is enforced with intuitive and automatic universe concept | Design is implemented using flow diagram with limited customization and validation options. Complex use case automation requires knowledge of JavaScript programming. |
| Data-driven scenarios and Test Case data is inherent to scenario design | Data-driven is a disconnected step once test case is automated and adds overhead. |
| Parameterization with design alignment to input, environment, run-time, linking and more | Technically oriented variable concept defined after the test case is defined, which reduces modularity. Also handling Test Data Parameters requires knowledge of JavaScript. |
Automation Development
|
|
|---|---|
| Codeless natural English coupled with recording | Flow Diagram are designed using basic record and playback mechanism. Recorded statements are not very readable and need to revised after being recorded. |
| Logic editor provides readymade conditional rule validations, loops etc.… for real life tests | Basic and Limited validation Check points in place. Complex custom validations required programming knowledge in Java Script. |
| Logic editor provides seamless transition from UI to Mobile to DB to API to File etc. | Less customizable Flow Diagram. Difficult to edit to introduce complex parameterization use cases, conditional logic and object property changes. |
| 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. Self-healing requires us to change acceptable threshold level for each object with is not sustainable in the long run. |
| Behavior driven predictive test designer for fast test creation and reusability | Every flow Diagram starts with blank slate, and tester needs to be well versed with reusable flows difficult to identify. |
| Automated and AI based reconciliation for UI and Object changes | No centralized handling, No reconciliation |
| AI driven data permutations auto-generates 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 | Possible but needs to be handled with JavaScript |
| Supports full-blown desktop UI (Windows)Automation using native element identification | Not available |
| API virtualization allows you to set up Service simulation by responding to API calls with mock responses | Not available |
| Cloud driven automatic extendibility to newer tech stacks (UI controls, DB, Mainframes, Files etc.) | Not Straightforward to create and add engines in the Business flow maintaining the relationship between various sub flows. |
Automation Execution
|
|
|---|---|
| Cloud and Local Execution agents allow just-in-time execution against any tech stack | Not very straightforward |
| Cross OS, Cross browser, Cross Mobile execution natively packaged with same agent | Limited support |
| Inbuilt parallel execution with robust high performance agent providing scalability | Requires a lot of configuration to setup not seamless |
| Docker support for Agent farm expansion with dynamic scalability and parallelization | Not supported |
| Integration with 3P cloud infrastructure farms like sauce labs, browser stacks | Limited support |
Change Management
|
|
|---|---|
| Naturalized model with referential integrity across pages, test steps, objects, suites automates the change impact process efficiently propagating changes across test assets | Not available |
| Objects are centrally managed in correlation with Application pages, and object changes are automatically reflected across all tests | Objects are not centrally managed, and objects need to be manually recorded at every step which adds to an operational overhead. |
| Collaborative platform on cloud with real time sharing, version control, branching with intuitive design not requiring any special training or "source control" management skills | No real time asset sharing, no live version compares, no branching. Audit History is not recorded automatically. Need to be comment on the changes each time while Saving the script with is an additional overhead. |
CI/CD & Tool Integrations
|
|
|---|---|
| Bi-directional and natively built synchronizer for Traceability tracking, coverage analysis and requirements based Test suite planning on a modern Web Interface on cloud | No clear visibility on overall test coverage |
| Two-way Defect creation, synchronization, and status tracking for full suite management | Lacks full blown suite management |
| CI job execution with pre-set configurations automatically execute test suites. Adapters support Jenkins, Team city, Bamboo, AzureDevOps, AutoRabit, Copado, Command line API etc. | Technical integration is possible needing the help of Specialized Architects |
| Workflow orchestration with CI workflows | Complex workflow orchestration needing tech expertise |
Technology Extendibility
|
|
|---|---|
| Open concept of user extensibility to expand scope of existing technology stack, as well as build-import to extend for new technology stack | Limited user extendibility and business logic customization capabilities |
| Cloud based community expansion is significantly rapid | Offline concept duplicates effort and high overhead and dependency of support |
| Automatic Self-managed Agent and driver updates which includes agent binaries and the dependencies | Needs upgrades |
| No impact from upgrades and no operational responsibility on the customer | 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, flow chart based traditional planning |
| Dynamic live results views with actionable reports to trigger reruns | Live Transactions status results only. In-depth action results viewable only at the end of the run. |
| Seamless result Notification via Email, Slack and Teams | Notification to MS Teams is not available currently |
| Umbrella style re-run capability for suite re-executions and roll up tracking | Not available |
Mobile Automation
|
|
|---|---|
| Offers a truly no-code approach to mobile automation | Lack of Mobile Automation capabilities. In Beta. |
| Supported against both iOS and Android, you can build and manage common test logic that works against both the leading mobile platforms | In Beta |
| Logic development, element identification, Scenario development and maintenance, test suites and test management, etc. are all integrated and consistent with the other product lines | Not available |
| Offers Unified automation that seamlessly combine steps that go across Web, Desktop, TE, etc. in the same test as Mobile. | Not available |
