UiPath vs. testRigor

testRigor offers three simple methods for creating tests:

1. Automatically generate test cases using generative AI, provide test titles, and steps are generated within seconds.
2. Write test cases in plain English without coding or automation knowledge, using text visible on the UI as locators and avoiding complex CSS and XPath locators.
3. Record actions as test steps using the test recorder.

In contrast, UiPath requires a drag-and-drop activity workflow for test creation, which is not feasible for non-technical people. Another option is to capture UI elements and user actions using a recorder, with many required installations/ configurations dependencies, which makes it more time-consuming and complex than testRigor's straightforward approach.

testRigor supports desktop web, mobile web, desktop native app, and mobile app testing for Android and iOS, i.e., everything in plain English. Use either emulators or actual physical devices for testing, as your choice.

Performing mobile automation using UiPath is tedious, requiring complicated installations, connections, and configurations such as Studio license UiPath.MobileAutomation.Activities packages, device farm, Appium server, and configured devices and applications. Procedures to manage local and cloud devices on UiPath have multiple steps and a steep learning curve, making them difficult to execute.

testRigor helps you perform all testing types faster and more accessible using the generative AI feature.

Completing the visual testing using UiPath needs either hybrid testing with a mix of automation or manual testing. The other way to test both UI versions is by using the object repository feature. First, create the object repository for the first version of the UI, build the test case, and then update the object repository with the descriptors of the second version of the UI.

Through testRigor, testers can use the features written in plain English by the business team as their test cases. Here, the test cases are channeling the behavior of users directly.

UiPath requires setting up the Given-When-Then steps using drag-and-drop XAML workflow.

testRigor and UiPath both support reusable rules.

However, when using UiPath, extract XAML files having workflows and then use Invoke Workflow activity to integrate workflows (XAML files), which is inconvenient.

In contrast, testRigor requires just the name of the rule in plain English to invoke it, and that's it; there are no multiple steps involved. It's super easy and convenient.

testRigor supports sending emails, receiving emails, sending attachments, and validating these three scenarios, all easily accomplished using plain English.

In UiPath, activity UiPath.Mail.Activities.Business.SendMailX sends an email from the specified email account. You must add this activity to a Use Outlook 365, Use Gmail, or Use Desktop Outlook App activity.

Consequently, email testing using UiPath is not as user-friendly.

testRigor supports Gmail 2FA in test cases.

UiPath has a custom activity that needs to be downloaded from UiPath Marketplace, and it uses the secret key to bypass MFA.

testRigor helps automate image-to-text and Google reCAPTCHA easily.

UiPath has a custom activity that needs to be downloaded from UiPath Marketplace and many other dependencies, making this process cumbersome.

testRigor supports login with a single login command.

UiPath does not provide built-in login support; you must create a workflow yourself.

testRigor supports making calls using Twilio. It can validate that a call is ringing, answered, etc.

For UiPath use UiPath.Twilio.IntegrationService.Activities.MakeCall activity to make a call.

Use testRigor to upload single or multiple files in the test case with a simple command: enter "<FILE_URL>" into file input "fileField"

However, UiPath requires the creation of the complete activity workflow requiring many steps for file upload.

testRigor verifies file downloads and validates their contents using simple commands. Supported file types are PDFs, CSVs, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and more.

You need to create the activity workflow for download yourself in multiple steps.

testRigor supports in-built parallel test runs to achieve high-speed execution.

For UiPath, you need to create a workflow using Parallel Activity and deliberately add the required test cases in that workflow to run in parallel.

testRigor generates data based on the detected field type (with about 50 types), and you can also provide your test data. testRigor creates random data conforming to a specific format every time the test runs.

UiPath, on the other hand, provides support for 7 types of customized test data, such as random string, name, address, etc. However, this support is less expansive than what testRigor offers.

testRigor provides in-built screenshots and reporting features.

For UiPath, you need to install UiPath.Core.Activities.TakeScreenshot and drag the same into the designer pane while creating a workflow.

testRigor provides end-to-end recorded video of test execution.

UiPath allows only the last 3 minutes of the execution to be recorded (when enabled), allowing you to have a walk-through of any errors that might occur towards the end of execution.

testRigor provides unlimited free public access and a 14-day trial.

UiPath provides a 60-day trial with UiPath Studio for on-premises.
