testRigor

testRigor is a no-code test automation platform that turns plain-English test steps into automated end-to-end tests for QA teams that want automation without writing code. Its main difference from script-based tools is that tests describe what a user sees and does, not CSS selectors or XPath, so they tend to keep working when the underlying markup changes. It also covers channels many UI testing tools skip, such as email, text messages and phone calls.

What is testRigor used for?

Companies use testRigor to turn manual regression suites into automated ones, often with the same testers who wrote the manual cases. It runs in CI and reports through common QA tools.

• Writing UI tests in plain English, including high-level instructions such as completing a purchase that it breaks into steps
• Generating tests with AI inside testRigor, or from Claude Code through MCP and Skills
• Importing or pasting existing manual test cases and converting them
• Testing web apps across browsers, native and hybrid iOS and Android apps, and native Windows apps
• Calling APIs, validating return codes and storing results inside a UI test
• Checking email, SMS and phone flows through Twilio, two-factor authentication and mainframe screens

Who testRigor is best for

testRigor suits QA teams staffed mainly by manual testers, regulated companies with long regression suites, and organizations that need to test web, mobile and desktop from one place. It connects to GitLab, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Jira, TestRail and Azure DevOps, so it fits into existing pipelines. Developers who prefer tests as code in Playwright or Cypress, or teams that only need unit tests, will likely find it a poor fit.

testRigor pricing

As of October 2026, testRigor lists three plans on its sign-up page. The Public Open Source plan is free forever, but all tests and results are public and shareable by URL, so it only makes sense for open-source projects or evaluation. The Private Complete plan keeps tests private and includes a 14-day trial covering Ubuntu, Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and Windows native apps with all AI features, but the page does not publish its price. Enterprise pricing is custom. Expect to talk to sales or start the trial to see paid costs, and note that desktop app testing is only available on paid versions.

Limitations to keep in mind

• The free plan exposes tests and results publicly, which rules it out for most companies
• Paid pricing is not listed, which makes budgeting harder early on
• Plain-English tests are readable, but complex logic can still need careful wording and supported commands
• Native mobile testing relies on an external device cloud such as LambdaTest or BrowserStack

testRigor vs alternatives

CoTester, from TestGrid, is a close alternative for AI-driven test creation and is worth comparing if you also want TestGrid's device cloud. Keploy is better for developer-led API and integration testing generated from real traffic. Qodo focuses on unit tests and code review inside the IDE, so it complements rather than replaces an end-to-end tool. testRigor wins when non-developers need to own automation across web, mobile, desktop, API and messaging channels.

Tips for getting started with testRigor

Use the 14-day Private Complete trial rather than the public free plan so you can test real flows safely. Start by importing a handful of existing manual test cases and see how many run with minimal editing. Write steps the way a user would describe the screen, using visible labels rather than technical names. Connect your CI tool and Jira early so failures land where your team already works.
