IDT, a leading telecommunications company, significantly increased its test automation coverage from 50% to 91% within nine months by utilizing testRigor, a tool that enables manual QA personnel to create automated tests with minimal maintenance. Previously, IDT's QA team was hindered by time-consuming maintenance of Selenium tests, which prevented them from progressing beyond 50% automation. By adopting testRigor, they not only reduced test maintenance time to less than 0.1% but also empowered manual testers to build twice as many tests. This transition facilitated faster release cycles, reduced costs, and improved team collaboration, ultimately leading to a 90% reduction in recurring bugs and substantial cost savings. The codeless, plain English interface of testRigor allowed for efficient test creation and maintenance without requiring in-depth programming knowledge, thereby transforming junior manual testers into adept automation engineers and significantly enhancing the team's productivity.

TestRigor is a test automation tool that simplifies the process of end-to-end testing for applications using technologies like WebSockets or XMPP, which require real-time message delivery between users. By allowing users to easily initiate and switch between multiple browsers or devices within test scripts, testRigor makes it straightforward to emulate scenarios where messages need to be sent and received instantaneously between different users. The testing process involves logging into the application, sending a message that is uniquely generated to prevent false positives, and verifying that the message appears on the recipient's screen. TestRigor's straightforward syntax is designed to be intuitive, even for users who are new to the platform, and offers a free trial for those interested in exploring its capabilities.
