Why choose a true No-Code platform like
ACCELQ, and not
Micro Focus UFT !
One Platform that seamlessly
connects to all your testing needs
GLOBAL ENTERPRISE CUSTOMERS USE ACCELQ
 |
 |
|---|---|
| Cloud based modern platform | IDE based 1st Gen tool |
| User experience focused design, simple to use | Old school complex and clunky interface |
| Intuitive and Natural UI flow enables Fast Adoption (~1-3 weeks) | Needs specialized training and automation Engineers to write scripted tests using VB script for complex use cases. |
| Design first approach with Business process Application modelling | Folder based object library approach with no relation to Application flow business |
| 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 and Script duplicity significantly increases when scaling up automation. |
| Seamless extendible approach for Web-Mobile-API in one codeless flow | Separate Add-ins/Plug-ins In need to be selected for the environment one needs to work on. Their current AI offering only supports Web and Mobile. It does not support Desktop. |
| Embedded asset collaboration and management for Smart Test Plans & Governance | Disconnected Repository with no transparency of test asset management and planning. |
| One native platform built with no Silos | Separate tools UFT One for functional testing. UFT Developer for shift left functional testing. No concept on inbuilt version control. UFT Mobile lab for real time devices and emulators. Also, AI Codeless Testing tool is a standalone tool and not part of UFT one. |
Why ACCELQ is a better alternative to Micro Focus UFT?
In-sprint Automation & Shift-left
|
|
|---|---|
| Application functional abstraction | Not available |
| Design & author tests parallel to Application development enabling true shift-left | Need a separate tool UFT Developer. |
| AI based Re-conciliation of abstraction | Limited capabilities in primitive stage. AI offering is not supported for Desktop |
| 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 | Scripted tests need knowledge of programming like VB Script or must be generated using record and playback visualizer. |
| Page objects are naturally & automatically centralized across test scenarios | Object property identification and Name mapping is not centralized. Required manually creating and maintaining a global object repository. |
| Design is enforced with intuitive and automatic universe concept | Design is manually implemented, and complex use case automation is limited with specialized "Architects" in 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 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 | Scripted Tests require the need for programming language like VB Script or via unreliable record and playback visualizer. There current AI offering is not very much mature in terms of using NLP as recently launched and requires lot of feedback from customers for course correction. |
| Logic editor provides readymade conditional rule validations, loops etc.… for real life tests | Basic and Limited validation Check points in place. Complex validations require to build scripted tests with need for programming using VB script |
| Logic editor provides seamless transition from UI to Mobile to DB to API to File etc. | Less customizable Keyword Test flow. Difficult to edit in Keyword view. Action Editor requires knowledge on VB script to include conditions and customizations. |
| 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. AI assistance feature recently launched still not mature to handle complex tech stack. |
| Behavior driven predictive test designer for fast test creation and reusability | Limited reusability capabilities and designing overheads. |
| 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 | Available with limited capabilities |
| Cloud driven automatic extendibility to newer tech stacks (UI controls, DB, Mainframes, Files etc.) | Manual process to create and add engines. 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 |
| 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 | Not supported. |
Change Management
|
|
|---|---|
| Naturalized model with referential integrity across pages, test steps, objects, suites automates the change impact process efficiently propagating changes across test assets | No referential integrity possible between test assets |
| Objects are centrally managed in correlation with Application pages, and object changes are automatically reflected across all tests | Objects are managed in library manner. AI object identification feature is not mature yet. |
| 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, folder style traditional planning |
| Dynamic live results views with actionable reports to trigger reruns | Static Report is dumped into an offline folder type repository. |
| Umbrella style re-run capability for suite re-executions and roll up tracking | Not available |
