testRigor

What is testRigor?

testRigor is an AI-driven end-to-end testing platform that throws away the most hated part of test automation: the selectors. Instead of hunting for CSS classes or XPath expressions, you write steps like "click Sign up" or "verify that the total equals $42.50", and the AI locates the elements by meaning.

Founded in 2019, testRigor targets both web and mobile apps and runs your tests on its own cloud infrastructure. The natural language approach means the people who understand the product best, testers, product managers and even business analysts, can write and maintain automated tests without becoming programmers.

The AI also understands user intent. Sentences like "enter a random email" or "click the second button in the header" are understood as human descriptions, and testRigor generates sensible test data and actions from them, so tests stay readable and stable even as the UI changes.

Key Features

• Natural language test steps that describe user actions, not selectors
• AI-powered element detection with no CSS or XPath required
• Built-in test data generation such as random emails, names and credit card numbers
• Web, iOS and Android testing from the same test cases
• Visual testing and screenshot-based assertions
• API testing alongside UI tests
• Parallel cloud execution for fast suites
• Integrations with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Jira, Slack and more

How to get started

Start by creating an account and pointing testRigor at your app URL or uploading a mobile build. Then write your first test in plain English, one user action per line, and run it in the cloud.

testRigor walks you through the syntax with an in-editor helper and example steps, so you can go from account creation to a passing test in your first session. Once it works, wire it into CI and let it run on every commit.

• Sign up for a testRigor account
• Add your web app URL or upload a mobile app build
• Write test steps in plain English
• Run the test and review the step-by-step results
• Connect CI/CD so tests run on every pull request

Use cases

• Keeping regression suites maintainable when the UI changes frequently
• Letting QA engineers and non-programmers own automated tests
• Testing complex multi-step flows like checkout and onboarding
• Cross-browser smoke tests for marketing and product pages
• Mobile app testing with the same natural language tests as the web

Pricing and licensing

testRigor is a subscription service with plans priced by the volume of test runs and the platform you test, with a free trial available for evaluation. Enterprise plans add SSO, support and advanced features.

Because the price list shifts with promotions and plan changes, check the official website for current pricing.

Pros and cons

The killer feature is accessibility: tests read like user stories, so the whole team can write them, and the AI keeps them working without selector maintenance. Teams that were drowning in flaky XPath get a genuinely different workflow.

The trade-offs are cloud-only execution and less fine-grained control than code-based frameworks. Complex technical assertions still need JavaScript, and power users who love IDE debugging may miss the traditional tooling.
