Selenium vs testRigor

Why do we need Automation in Software Testing?

When a website is created or in the process of creation, testing Is required to ensure that everything is working fine. In the old days, testing was conducted manually. However manual testing was very time-consuming and hectic. 

Automation Testing eliminates human error. Automation testing speeds up the testing process and the product can be developed in a short period of time without any bugs. There are very less chances of skipping the bug as compared to manual testing.

What is Selenium? 

Selenium is a free and open-source testing framework used to validate web applications across different browsers and platforms. Multiple programming languages can be used with Selenium like Java, Python, C#, etc. to create the automation scripts.

Pros and Cons of Selenium

Pros: –  

• Selenium supports a variety of browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari Edge, etc. 
• Selenium grid allows you to execute on a wide variety of browsers and operating systems like Windows, Mac, Linux, etc. 
• We can write test scripts in a variety of languages like Java, python, javascript, c#, and Ruby. 

Cons: – 

• The coding required to create test cases requires experienced coders. 
• Test cases can only be updated by coders if there is any change in the functionality. 
• Selenium doesn’t provide inbuilt report generation functionality. To generate reports of test cases, we need third-party reports. 

What is testRigor? 

testRigor is a cloud-based testing platform, it is powered by AI. The software can test the application on any device and any browser or API. The coding is not required in testRigor. The test cases can be written in plain English language. The software is also free to use. 

Pros and Cons of testRigor 

Pros: – 

• The parallelization mechanism helps in testing all the features within a few minutes. 
• No programming language is required to write test cases in testRigor. 

• The time taken to create test cases in testRigor is much less as compared to selenium. 
• Test cases are consistent and dependable, and can be included in the CI/CD process. 

Cons: – 

• Game testing can’t be done using testRigor. 
• Desktop applications can’t be tested using testRigor.
