Why choose a true No-Code platform like
ACCELQ, and not TestComplete !
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 for complex use cases |
| Design first approach with Business process Application modelling | Folder based object library approach with no relation to Application flow business processes |
| 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 | Separate projects need to be created to cater to different applications. Disintegrated approach with no reusability |
| Embedded asset collaboration and management for Smart Test Plans & Governance | Disconnected Repository with no transparency of test asset management and planning. Need a separate tool QAComplete for Test Management |
| One native platform built with no Silos | Separate tools for various purposes. Test Execute a lightweight test runner to run test cases and support parallel execution. Separate Cross browser testing tool. Separate API testing tools like SOAP UI, Ready API etc. |
Why ACCELQ is a better alternative to TestComplete?
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 | Not available |
| Test scenarios are modularized into Pages and User Actions | Keywords Tests are created using record and playback visualizer. Scripted tests need knowledge of programming like JavaScript / Python/ VBscript or DelphiScript |
| Page objects are naturally & automatically centralized across test scenarios | Object property identification and name mapping is a manual step which adds to an overhead. |
| 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 | Keyword Tests written using basic record and playback mechanism. Scripted Tests require the need for programming language like JavaScript, Python etc |
| 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. |
| Logic editor provides seamless transition from UI to Mobile to DB to API to File etc. | Less customizable Keyword Test flow. Difficult to edit. Separate projects need to be created to work with UI, Mobile, API etc. does not allow seamless transition. |
| 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. Properties need to be selected manually. No concept of Self-healing or AI assistance. |
| Behavior driven predictive test designer for fast test creation and reusability | Every test case starts with blank slate, and tester needs to be well versed with Keywords. |
| 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 | Not available |
| 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 | Need separate tools like Cross Browser Testing and BitBar (for Cross Mobile) |
| Inbuilt parallel execution with robust high performance agent that’s scalability | Need separate tool Test Execute for parallel execution |
| 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 "print report”, not real time and dynamic |
| Docker support for Agent farm expansion with dynamic scalability and parallelization | Requires Specialized Architect support to integrate with Docker |
| 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 managed in library manner and object mapping need to manually created 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 | Require a separate tool for Test Management - QAComplete |
| Two-way Defect creation, synchronization, and status tracking for full suite management | Require a separate tool for Defect Management - QAComplete |
| 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 / developers |
| Workflow orchestration with CI workflows | One-way test execution trigger with minimal feedback |
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 | Engine based concept requiring very specialized skill set |
| Cloud based community expansion is significantly rapid | Offline concept duplicates effort and high overhead and dependency of support |
| No impact from upgrades | Needs 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 |
| Embedded screen captures, directly associated with automation interactions | Screen capture done must be viewed by clicking on each step. A consolidated screen capture preview not available which would make error identification difficult and time-consuming. |
| Umbrella style re-run capability for suite re-executions and roll up tracking | Not available |
