Testsigma is a low-code end-to-end test automation platform for Agile teams. It lets SDETs, manual testers, SMEs, and QAs collaboratively plan, develop, execute, analyze, debug, and report on their automated testing for websites, native Android and iOS apps, and APIs. It is available as a fully managed, cloud-based solution as well as a self-hosted instance that is open source (Testsigma Community Edition). The platform is built with Java, but the automated tests are code-agnostic. Through built-in NLP Grammar, teams can automate user actions in simple English, or generate airtight test scripts with the Test Recorder. With features like built-in visual testing, parametrized or data-driven testing, 2FA testing, and an AI that automatically fixes unstable elements and test steps, identifies and isolates regression-affected scripts, and provides suggestions to help you find and fix test failures, Testsigma can replace tens of different tools in the QA toolchain to enable teams to test easily, continuously, and collaboratively.
