testRigor

Imagine almost eliminating your QA test maintenance time. It's possible with testRigor.

testRigor is only end-to-end test automation tool you’ll ever need. The platform empowers the whole team to write end-to-end UI tests quickly and efficiently using plain English instead of complicated code. Seamlessly create, edit, and update tests of any complexity, allowing the team to expand test coverage rapidly.

Unlike most other codeless test automation tools available on the market, all tests are created entirely from a user’s perspective. This means identifying elements as you see them on the screen instead of using element locators. And the tests are so stable that some of our customers even use them for monitoring. These are just a few benefits of the testRigor test automation tool.

Imagine how quickly your team creates test cases now, then double the speed. Then again. What about 15 times faster?

testRigor users don’t imagine it, they’re living it.

Because of testRigor’s GenAI combined with simple English commands, test automation no longer takes hours or days, but just minutes.

“With testRigor, we went from ZERO to 100% test automation within six months of implementation.” - Kris Gustovich, Enumerate

Test automation is supposed to speed things up.

But little changes to code can cause massive issues with tests.

Thus, test maintenance becomes a giant burden as QA teams frantically try to play catch up fixing broken test cases.

Spending more time on test maintenance prevents new test cases from being created.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗨𝗟𝗔 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗘𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗤𝗔 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗦 𝗨𝗦𝗘

To be able to achieve 100% test automation you need to both create tests more quickly AND reduce test maintenance.

In fact, testRigor was designed by senior QA leaders to do both of these.

𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘛𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘺

testRigor:
Uses simple English commands instead of complex code
Allows GenAI to create tests for you
Has reusable rules to incorporate dozens or hundreds of lines of commands into one

𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘛𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦

testRigor:
Emulates a human’s actions on the UI, code changes do not break tests
Seamlessly learns all new functionality & updates its data when new versions release
Automatically uses on screen signals to match new elements with old ones

“With testRigor, we were able to generate automated tests quickly without adding maintenance overhead for our QA team.” - Rajan Arora, Upgrade

𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘?

For those who implement testRigor, the turnaround can happen very quickly.

“With testRigor, we have increased our testing coverage from less than 33% to more than 91% in under 9 months.” - Keith Powe, IDT
