Why choose a true No-Code platform like
ACCELQ, and not Worksoft!
One Platform that seamlessly
connects to all your testing needs
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) | UI not very intuitive and involves a lot of clicks to edit or modify |
Design first approach with Business process Application modelling | Relies more on action recording with makes it difficult to improvise on coverage |
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 | Engine based disintegrated step based 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 |
One native platform built with no Silos | Separate tools for recording , analysis and run |
Why ACCELQ is a better alternative to Worksoft?
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 | Record and Capture of Actions in one flow. Grouped by Page name. Lacks business logic grouping. |
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 not unified seamlessly. One needs to first record the actions and then customize. Design and Automation script generation are decoupled and have to be done asynchronously. |
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 | Test Steps generated based on recorded action. May lead to duplicity of action being recorded. |
Logic editor provides readymade conditional rule validations, loops etc.… for real life tests. | Complex way to edit objects, actions and IDE is based on a tabular editor requiring a number of clicks. |
Logic editor provides seamless transition from UI to Mobile to DB to API to File etc. | Modules transitions need to be recorded in one flow. Some of the logic is disintegrated. |
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 |
Behavior driven predictive test designer for fast test creation and reusability | Each test case has to be recorded from scratch. The concept of removing duplicates only comes after recording. |
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.) | 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 with script setup approach |
Inbuilt parallel execution with robust high performance agent that’s scalability | No parallel execution for web/UI on one agent |
Secured and Encrypted communication between Agent and Cloud to test inside firewalls without any special VPN's or network restrictions | Not available |
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 integration to cloud farms like experitest and Perfecto |
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 that do not relate back to common shared model |
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 | 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 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. Relies on the test recorder clubbing actions based on page name. An additional overhead to remove duplicate Test steps previously covered. |
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. |
Embedded screen captures, directly associated with automation interactions | Screenshot’s report is separate from Test run report. Error snapshots not captured on run failure which would make it difficult to debug. |
Umbrella style re-run capability for suite re-executions and roll up tracking | Not available |
