# Why testRigor? testRigor is an executable specification engine designed to allow anyone on your team to build, maintain and understand tests created and executed in [plain English](https://testrigor.com/docs/language). We provide a Chrome plugin to speed-up test creation, and our AI-powered system dramatically reduces test maintenance to a bare minimum and autonomously generates tests that reflect your end users’ behavior. ## Reasons For Manual Tests | | | | --- | --- | | | Selenium tests don’t represent how users interact with the app. | | | Your team tried Selenium but were killed by test maintenance. | | | Expertise in product usage but not in coding. | | | UI changes too quickly to catch up. | | | Full-time QA Engineer to build 100 tests per year. | | | Full-time QA Engineer to maintain 200 tests per year. | | | Dev time is eaten up by constant test failure investigations. | | | Manual QA team doesn’t understand automated test failures. | | | | | --- | --- | | | Generate tests to reflect how users interact with your application. | | | Non-technical manual QA can build and maintain test automation while never falling behind. | | | Focus on your product, not code. | | | UI changes don’t affect test cases. | | | 20X less time to create tests with our Chrome extension. | | | 99.5% less time maintaining tests in testRigor compared to Selenium. | | | Manual QA and non-QA can now understand test failures. | | | 30 minutes or less to retest all functionality with parallel testing. | ## Find Out Why Our Customers Chose Us ### IDT IDT is a Fortune 1000 telecommunications company that partnered with testRigor to create test cases faster than previous test automation tools. IDT went from 50% automation to 91% automation in under 9 months with only manual QA.

Reduces Testing Time testRigor executes all tests in parallel, significantly cutting down on test run time. Costs Less Manual testing takes a whole team. Writing and supporting test cases, planning, and testing all add up to hours of tedious labor. Increases Stability Autonomous testing reduces human error and fixes broken or outdated tests with little manual intervention required. Moves Faster With no set up time required, testRigor shortens the development cycle to get bug-free products to market faster. ## testRigor vs QA Automation Does more than script automation testRigor’s AI incorporates libraries like Selenium, Appium, and Calabash into a larger database of functionality and real user activity, creating and improving tests autonomously. Survives UI framework changes Sophisticated algorithms match elements on the page even if the UI framework and markup are completely different. We use more than 10 different signals to match elements on the new screen with old ones. Increases stability We do reasonable retries for infrastructure hiccups, minimizing common issues that occur with regular QA automation due to infrastructure instability. Provides maximum coverage testRigor covers all existing functionality, including regression testing when changes to your app are made. Saves hours of daily test maintenance Traditional automation still requires daily support to keep tests updated as your app and framework changes. testRigor automatically learns about all new functionality and updates its data when a new version is released. Achieves speed at scale Safely parallelizes testing and allows you to move quickly even as your product grows in complexity. The more you scale, the more efficient your dev cycle becomes. ## testRigor vs Record & Play tools Captures user activity in production testRigor’s AI learns from real user activity, identifying patterns to create a library of actions to test. Unlike record and play where testers are watching a walk-through of one-off planned interactions you will understand how users naturally engage with your product. Survives UI framework change Most record and play tools will fail to recognize an element in a new setting. Our algorithms match elements on the page even if the UI framework and markup are different, using over 10 different signals to match elements on the new screen with old ones. Provides maximum coverage testRigor eliminates the need to record new user actions when functionality changes. Autonomous regression testing discovers new potential user flows and creates tests to cover them. Shaves time off regression testing Without having to re-record any activity or support a new set of tests each time functionality changes, your team can focus their time on more important or sophisticated initiatives. Achieves speed at scale One-by-one recordings don’t scale as your company & code base grows. testRigor safely parallelizes testing and allows you to move quickly even as you scale functionality and expand your user base.
