Featured Reviews

PC
Software Engineer at Philips
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.

Sr Test Lead at Emerson
Used for integration automation, user-based automation, and web automation
The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts. The solution has introduced a new feature that helps us identify objects we cannot normally identify. It gives you a fair idea of objects, resolving the object recognition issue. The solution can be used to perform different tests on different machines.
