What is testRigor?

1. Desktop Web Testing is available on Ubuntu, with additional support for Windows and macOS for paid users.
2. Mobile Web Testing works on Android, with iOS support exclusive to paid plans.
3. Native and Hybrid Mobile Testing includes Android, with iOS support for paid subscribers.

Assets

1. Scriptless Test Creation: testRigor’s use of natural language allows non-technical users to create automated tests without the need for complex coding. This significantly lowers the barrier to entry for test automation.
2. Cross-Platform Support: It offers robust support for desktop, mobile web, and native/hybrid mobile applications, allowing QA teams to automate tests across a wide range of platforms.
3. Scalability: testRigor is designed to scale with your testing needs, supporting both small projects and large enterprise-level test suites.
4. Accelerated Testing: By simplifying test creation and reducing the need for extensive scripting, testRigor speeds up the testing process, allowing for quicker iterations and faster releases.
5. Integration with Popular Tools: testRigor integrates seamlessly with popular CI/CD tools and other software development ecosystems, enabling smooth workflows and collaboration between teams.
6. Enhanced Collaboration: The intuitive interface and scriptless approach foster collaboration among QA engineers, developers, and other stakeholders, making it easier to work together on test cases and troubleshooting.
7. Lower Maintenance: Since testRigor uses natural language and AI to adapt to changes in the UI, tests are less likely to break with minor changes in the application, reducing the maintenance burden.

Limitations

1. Limited Customization: The scriptless approach, while user-friendly, may limit advanced users’ ability to customize tests to the same extent as traditional scripting-based tools.
2. Cost for Premium Features: Certain features, such as support for Windows and macOS in desktop web testing or iOS in mobile testing, are available only in paid plans, which might be a barrier for some smaller teams or projects.
3. Learning Curve for Complex Scenarios: Although natural language makes test creation straightforward, more complex test scenarios might require a learning curve, especially when integrating with other tools or handling complex workflows.
4. Dependency on Platform Updates: Since testRigor relies on AI and natural language processing, any significant changes in platform APIs or UI elements might require updates to the tool, potentially impacting test stability in the short term.
5. Limited Offline Testing: testRigor’s cloud-based nature could be a drawback for teams that need robust offline testing capabilities or operate in environments with restricted internet access.

• Here’s the script we’ve created for our scenario.

store value "We will discuss all topics during our conversation" in "Discussion text"
store value "Rushabh Shah" in "Name"
store value "rushabh@jignect.tech" in "Mailing Address"
store value "RS Pvt Ltd" in "Organization Name" 
store value "1234567890" in "Contact Number"
click on the "Contact Us" link in the website's navigation menu
enter stored value "Discussion text" into "Do you have any specific requirements?" field below "Let's talk"
enter stored value "Name" into "Full Name" field
enter stored value "Mailing Address" into "Email" field
enter stored value "Organization Name" into "Company" field
