Why BugBug is one of the best Rainforest QA alternatives

REASON #1

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.

REASON #2

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.

REASON #3

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.

BugBug is super intuitive and lowers the barrier of becoming an end-to-end tester. It reduces development time and significantly lowers the cost of software testing.

In two days we managed to automate test cases that took us weeks to write up and execute using other software. It is easy to use, yet can still perform advanced testing should the tester want to.
