Testsigma
Low-code test automation for web, mobile, and APIs. Write tests in plain English and run them across browsers and devices.
Overview
Testsigma is a cloud-based, low-code test automation platform founded in 2018. It enables testers to write automated tests in plain English using NLP (Natural Language Processing), with the platform translating those instructions into executable automation code. Testsigma supports web, mobile (iOS/Android), and API testing in a single platform.
Testsigma is positioned as a more affordable and accessible alternative to enterprise low-code tools like ACCELQ and Tosca. It targets mid-market teams that want codeless automation without enterprise pricing.
