Automation workflows have become faster and AI features save time on locators and test scripts

I feel algoQA can be improved further in a few areas including script generation accuracy, locator identification, and execution stability. I believe execution speed and stability can be improved, especially when handling large test suites and hundreds of test cases. Auto-Heal improvements should include enhancements to identify the correct element more accurately and handle different locator failure scenarios. Providing more meaningful error messages and debugging details would help me identify and resolve issues quickly. Overall, I feel that continuous improvements in these areas will make algoQA more reliable, user-friendly, and powerful for automation testing. One additional area I would like to highlight is integration and scalability. I think algoQA could do better in terms of integration with other tools and technology. Better integration with tools like Jenkins, Git, and other CI/CD platforms would make it easier to include automation in the continuous testing process. I would also like to see improved support for new automation frameworks and technology, along with better handling of complex application scenarios. Another important area is reporting, where more detailed execution reports with clear failure reasons, screenshots, logs, and debugging information would help me analyze issues more quickly. I would also highlight better end-to-end automation management as an area for improvement. It would be great to have more intelligent debugging, detailed execution insights, and suggestions to fix failures automatically. I would also appreciate improved support for complex application scenarios, better handling of dynamic elements, and more accurate AI-generated test cases and scripts. Another important improvement would be faster execution and better performance when handling large test suites. Apart from these suggestions, I feel algoQA already offers a wide range of powerful features, and continuous improvements and new innovations will make it even more useful for me and help organizations achieve better automation coverage with less manual effort.

The network testing can be accessed from anywhere in the world, but the UI needs revamping

Recently, the network testing component where we can use Perfecto on devices has been the most valuable feature. There is very little competition out there in this regard. We use it for 4G and 5G testing of launched 5G and 4G brands. So, the network testing can be accessed from anywhere in the world. That is very valuable for us. Perfecto is very good when it comes to executing cross-platform testing. We have just gotten started on cross-browser testing. We already use Perfecto for the native-application testing on multiple devices. I think now we also use Perfecto for browser-related testing. So, all the cross-browser testing works well. We got a couple of licenses that we use. We can mostly see usage over time using the device logs. This is what matters the most to us, e.g., what team is using a device for how long. We use Cypress, and it supports it quite well. We use APM, and it also supports that quite well. We used to use the native quantum framework as well in the past, which was obviously well-supported, but now we have moved onto Cypress and APM. Also, we have Applitools, which is not open source, but a paid proprietary tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The best features algoQA offers in my experience are the Sketch agent, Test Authoring agent, test optimization agent, impact-based testing, and auto-healing capabilities."

"With algoQA, for 10 test cases, I can complete them within two hours, reducing what would typically be a one-day task."

"I can now automate and execute around six to seven test cases in one day."

"The best feature in algoQA is the Test Authoring agent, which explores the application and generates positive, negative, and all the test cases, while also identifying whether I have covered all the test cases according to the requirements."

"algoQA has positively impacted my organization by reducing the time it takes to create a test scenario from one day to nearly 20 minutes."

"The main advantages of algoQA are that maintenance is very easy, I generate test cases very quickly, and I have efficient reports and cloud executions."

"This feature has significantly improved my workflow by allowing me to automatically fill test gaps and generate executable scripts from manual test cases whenever we make any changes in the application."

"Features like Test Authoring, Algo Scrapper, Test Scripting, and Auto-Heal solve real-time challenges that I face during automation."

More algoQA pros

"Perfecto is a game-changer for us, we save at least $10,000 monthly."

"The CI dashboard tool is very good, as is the Live Stream monitoring. Whenever I want to monitor execution, I can open multiple tabs in Perfecto and it is easy for me to refer to the CI dashboard and the Live Stream."

"Customer Service: It's been 100%. Technical Support: It's been 100%."

"We are able to offer a quality product that has been tested fully, which improves our customer satisfaction. That is a good thing. It has also reduced our IT infrastructure cost. We don't have to spend a lot on setting up infrastructure, which becomes redundant or obsolete very soon. It helps in offsetting that cost."

"Their team is really great to work with. They're very flexible, and they always show care. They prioritize our work, our company, and our working relationship. I appreciate the ad hoc sessions that they schedule to provide help with troubleshooting, provide the information that we're looking for, or do a demo of a new feature that they have. They're always willing and very quick to get that scheduled for us. I appreciate that a lot."

"It saves on the cost and effort of having to maintain our own virtual testing environment. Even our onshore team is not in the city that we work in, so that helps a lot. Even if we didn't invest a lot in getting multiple devices, having to share those devices would become a hassle."

"Overall, it results in huge cost savings for our company."

"The automation piece is the most valuable feature. Every time we had a new version of either OS or an application, we found that being able to automate the testing across different devices is very valuable."

Cons

"I feel algoQA can be improved further in a few areas including script generation accuracy, locator identification, and execution stability."

"algoQA's onboarding process has to be improved a little bit because if people are very new to algoQA, they will get lost after two or three stages."

"One area where algoQA can improve is pricing."

"Regarding improvements, algoQA can enhance its freemium subscription by adding some AI capabilities, as there are minor changes needed."

"AlgoQA can improve in auto-healing for multiple frameworks, as this is a current issue."

"There was a discussion about having the capability to export the test results to a certain tool that we use in our project. If that were added it would be great not having to manually take screenshots, put them in a document, and share them on the different test management tools."

"One improvement would be speed of execution. If it is an iOS native app, we have noticed that the speed is a bit slower. Perfecto might need to make some improvements in this area."

"Sometimes, when the automated tests sync up or we have to debug remotely, we cannot interact directly with the device."

"I'm hoping that Perfecto will come up with browser testing as well because it would be easier to access it."

"We don't use Perforce's BlazeMeter with Perfecto. From my perspective, it's not really relevant."

"We have had some issues with performance, which is something that should be improved."

"When using devices on the cloud, it lags quite a bit at times. I know that these are real devices that are being projected on our laptop screens and monitors, but if the speed could be improved, that would be good."

"If we could run an accessibility test in Perfecto against builds, it would help us a lot. Currently, that's a very manual process for us. We haven't found a tool that can do accessibility scans for iOS and doesn't depend on engineering effort. Having a feature related to that would be really awesome for us."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Perfecto is about 30-40% cheaper than Device Anywhere. That was a big reason why we switched. Perfecto also solves some of the issues that we had with Device Anywhere. We have grown by 100% since we started to use Perfecto, and now we have devices roaming. When we look at the competition, we would still stick with Perfecto."

"Pricing is an area where Perfecto can do a little better. When we obtain additional licenses, we enter into negotiations with them."

"It's definitely on the higher end of prices for this type of service."

"Pricing-wise, it is fine. It is not as expensive as what we used to have in the past from HP, IBM, and others. It is decently priced."

"Perfecto has definitely saved us on the costs and efforts of having to maintain our own virtual test environment. We lost about 20 devices in the past to maintenance and audit. That was a massive loss for us, as a company, because we were giving devices to someone, but don't know whether we would get it back or not. Having those virtual labs, we don't need to worry about these kinds of things. We are easily saving $5,000 to $10,000 a month on device costing."

"I am not sure about its pricing, but from our perspective, licensing has been easy. Anytime I have new users or requests for users that want to get added, it's a very simple process. I just give the architectural owner of the product the name and email address, and they're able to easily add a new user. We don't have any issues in regards to getting licenses, but I don't have any insights into pricing."

"Although Perfecto is a good product for us to use, it is a bit expensive. It takes management a bit of work to find the appropriate funding for us to keep Perfecto. I imagine there could be some way to make it more accessible."

"This is an expensive solution compared to others, by 30% to 40%."
