testRigor

What testRigor is

testRigor is a test automation tool that builds end-to-end tests from plain English. Tests identify elements the way a user sees them on screen instead of using XPath or CSS locators, so suites are claimed to survive changes to the interface.

The vendor states tests are generated from metadata about how real users move through a production application, and that it handles flows involving email, SMS and multiple users.

What you can do with it

• Write tests in plain English
• Run acceptance-level UI regression suites
• Test flows spanning email or messaging
• Maintain tests without locator updates

Who it is for

• QA teams
• Teams without scripting capacity
• Products with frequent UI change

What to watch out for

• Generating tests from production user behaviour means capturing user interaction metadata, which needs a privacy notice, consent where required and data minimisation
• The ranking claim on the site is vendor marketing
• Not all applications suit it; the vendor states it does not test games
• Confirm what data the production library collects before installing it
