ACCELQ vs Playwright – A Snapshot


ACCELQ is full-blown enterprise-level test automation platform.	Needs to be built from scratch. Several weeks of initial effort. Lifetime maintenance burden.
Powerful natural language editor allows you to write test automation logic in plain English. Ensures design-first approach with inbuilt modularity and reusability.	Requires mainstream programming language such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python etc.
Referential integrity across test assets. Embedded asset collaboration and management for Smart Test Plans & Governance.	Effort intensive manual process. Long term success solely dependent on the discipline and technical maturity of the team.
Powerful & intelligent element capture technology creates robust automation. AI-powered Self-healing capabilities.	Based on id, name, CSS, XPath etc. Requires technical knowledge to deal with complex and dynamic elements.
Dynamic live results views with actionable reports to trigger reruns.	Provides basic HTML report.
No coding needed, no matter how complex and dynamic your application. Enable the entire team to automate without the need for programming.	Need a simple conditional statement? 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. Primarily designed for testing Web Apps. Has currently only experiential Android Support and does not support non-web related testing like native apps. Web, API and Mobile have limitations and will require programming skills with workarounds and customizations. Does not support Desktop 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 code and object locater updates 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 Playwright?

Test Design


Universe-based visual Application modelling.	Not available.
Test scenarios are modularized into Pages and User Actions.	Framework needs to build using Page Object Model(POM) requiring programming skills and is complex.
Page objects are naturally & automatically centralized across test scenarios.	Object property identification and Name mapping are not centralized out of the box. Need programming and development.
Design is enforced with intuitive and automatic universe concept.	Not available.
Data-driven scenarios and Test Case data are inherent to scenario design.	Needs extensive programming and external integrations.
Parameterization with design alignment to input, environment, run-time, linking and more.	Need programming skills and various configuration files to be setup.

Automation Development


Codeless natural English coupled with recording.	Coded. Requires knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript etc. Can use Playwright Inspector to record and generate code but the same cannot handle complex use cases.
Logic editor provides readymade conditional rule validations, loops, etc. for real-life tests.	Requires programming knowledge. Not readily available.
Logic editor provides seamless transition from UI to Mobile to DB to API to File etc.	Not available. Need programming and custom development.
AI-based robust object handling and self-healing (works seamlessly with Angular, iframes, Shadow DOMs, charts, SVG, canvas, etc.)	No AI involved for object handling relies on id, name, CSS and XPath etc.
Behavior-driven predictive test designer for fast test creation and reusability.	Limited reusability capabilities and designing overheads. Can integrate with Cucumber to achieve BDD but can get complex as test cases increase.
Automated and AI-based reconciliation for UI and Object changes.	No AI-based 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 tech stacks (UI controls, DB, Mainframes, Files, etc.	Currently only support Web app automation. Native apps not supported. Needs custom development and configuration to support newer frontend technologies.

Automation Execution


ACCELQ Reports provide a functionally rich interface to test execution results.	Console based reporting or basic html report. Require explicit code to be written to capture screenshot in run results.
Docker support for Agent farm expansion with dynamic scalability and parallelization.	Need to write code to connect to Agent Farms. Not available out of box for immediate use.
Integration with 3P cloud infrastructure farms like Saucelabs, BrowserStack, LambdaTest etc.	Not Straightforward. Need programming and custom development.

Change Management


A naturalized model with referential integrity across pages, test steps, objects, and suites. Automates the change impact process efficiently, propagating changes across test assets.	Effort intensive manual process.
Objects are centrally managed in correlation with Application pages, and object changes are automatically reflected across all tests.	Objects can be managed in global repository files. Reflection of object changes across all test assets requires an investment in building a mature framework.
Collaborative platform on the cloud with real-time sharing, version control, branching with intuitive design not requiring any special training or “source control” management skill.	Not Available. Need to connect with other 3^rd party tools.

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.	Not Available.
Two-way Defect creation, synchronization, and status tracking for complete suite management.	Not Available.
CI job execution with pre-set configurations automatically executes test suites. Adapters support Jenkins, Team City, Bamboo, AzureDevOps, AutoRabit, Copado, Command line API, etc.	Not available out of box. Need to write code to setup CI job execution.
Workflow orchestration with CI workflows	Need extensive programming skills.

Automation-first capabilities ( In-sprint & Shift-left )


Application functional abstraction.	Requires technical maturity of the team to achieve the same.
Design & author tests parallel to Application development enabling true shift-left.	Since the automation development is dependent on application readiness, often challenging.
AI based Re-conciliation of abstraction.	Not available.
API, DB and middleware Automation with UI.	Not straight forward. Can be achieved with knowledge of programming skills.

Technology Extendibility


Open concept of user extensibility to expand the scope of the existing technology stack, as well as build-import to extend for new technology stack.	Need custom development and configuration to support newer technologies.
No impact from upgrades and no operational responsibility on the customer.	Needs migrations and upgrades.

Governance & Reporting


ACCELQ’s app universe and analytics-based algorithms drive automated Test Planning ensuring coverage.	No intelligence in test planning and suite creation.
Dynamic live results view with actionable reports to trigger reruns.	No Dynamic Live results.
Embedded screen captures are directly associated with automation interactions.	Can be achieved by writing code. Not something available by default.
Umbrella style rerun capability for suite re-executions and roll-up tracking.	Limited re-execution capabilities. Test Retries need to be explicitly setup in the configuration file.
