Why BugBug is one of the best Rainforest QA alternatives
Create tests seamlessly
Instead of requiring you to create a step-by-step test like Rainforest, BugBug records interactions in the background as you simply click through the page. BugBug's test recorder works seamlessly and delivers reliable tests.
Run & Debug tests faster
Rainforest supports running tests only on virtual machines, which results in the whole process simply being slow and complicated. With BugBug, you can record and run tests on your own machine without having to wait for a cloud run.
Reduce testing costs
BugBug's free plan offers unlimited tests, local execution, unlimited collaboration with your team, and more. You can run tests in the cloud with no additional infrastructure or DevOps costs. BugBug is the most cost-effective solution on the market.
We tried different automation software with mixed results. That is until we found BugBug, which suits our needs like a glove.
