Why choose a true No-Code platform like
ACCELQ, and not Leapwork!
One Platform that seamlessly
connects to all your testing needs
ACCELQ is full-blown enterprise-level test automation platform | Light weight IDE flow-diagram based framework with shallow product interface. |
Powerful natural language editor allows you to write test automation logic in plain English. Ensures design-first approach with inbuilt modularity and reusability | Flow chart-based Editor where modularity and reusability become a challenge |
Referential integrity across test assets. Embedded asset collaboration and management for Smart Test Plans & Governance | Organizing assets become impossible. |
Powerful & intelligent element capture technology creates robust automation. AI-powered Self-healing capabilities. | Element handling not sustainable based on text and image recognition with limitations to handle real-world use cases. |
Dynamic live results views with actionable reports to trigger reruns | Execution reporting is primitive |
No coding needed, no matter how complex and dynamic your application. Enable the entire team to automate without the need for programming. | Need to introduce complex conditional logic and parameterization? Go-to programming! |
Test development exponentially accelerates when scaling up automation and maintenance significantly reduces when scaling up automation | Test Script development becomes complex and slow when scaling up automation and Maintenance significantly increases when scaling up automation |
Seamless extendible approach for Web-Mobile-API in one codeless flow | Limited unified automation capabilities. Does not support SOAP API automation. |
Powerful Test Management Platform with end-to-end capabilities | No Test Management capabilities |
Test Assets are end-to-end aligned with platform vendor Releases. Live updates on new Releases by vendors. | Support is static in nature. Requires tool upgrade to support anything new |
SaaS based multi-user collaborative platform on cloud with In-built version control | Not a collaborative multi-user environment. Requires connecting with GitHub for version control. |
Why ACCELQ is a better alternative to Leapwork?
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. |
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 charts with limited customization options and complex use case automation is limited |
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. |
Automation Development
Codeless natural English coupled with recording | Flow Diagram are designed using keywords using basic record and playback mechanism |
Logic editor provides readymade conditional rule validations, loops etc.… for real life tests | Basic and Limited validation Checkpoints in place. Complex validations support not possible. |
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. No concept of Self-healing or AI assistance. |
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. | Is an additional step and is not seamless |
Seamlessly manage multiple variants of test data suitable for different test execution environments | 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 | Cloud agent not natively supported |
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 |
Secured and Encrypted communication between Agent and Cloud to test inside firewalls without any special VPN's or network restrictions | Repository based workspace sharing with traditional report, not real time and dynamic |
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 with script setup approach |
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 | Offline repository for black-box script database. No real time asset sharing, no audit history tracking, no live version compares, no branching |
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. | Not a seamless technical integration |
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 |
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, flow chart based traditional planning |
Dynamic live results views with actionable reports to trigger reruns | Static video Report is dumped into an offline folder type repository post execution |
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 |
