12 Reasons to Use Rapise for Automated Testing
Automated testing software has become a mission-critical tool for modern QA. No longer a novelty, test automation helps organizations and their projects stay on target as timelines accelerate and expectations grow. It’s no longer enough to simply have an automated testing platform — teams need to find the right fit at the right price to avoid falling behind competitors. However, there are a large number of “automated testing tools” available today that are more built around selling promises than truly helping efficiency. You need software that is powerful but doesn’t get in your way with long learning curves and unexpected limitations. This is where Rapise comes in…
What is Rapise?
Rapise is our industry-leading automated testing software, designed to support end-to-end application testing across web, mobile, desktop, API, and enterprise systems. It combines powerful AI automation with both scripted and scriptless testing options, enabling teams of all skill levels to create, execute, and maintain tests efficiently from a single tool. Modern software development cycles demand faster feedback, higher quality, and broader coverage than ever before. However, it has become more and more difficult to achieve these without extensive manual effort to maintain brittle test suites.
Rapise revolutionizes this by supporting broad application types from one platform, reducing reliance on coding expertise via its intuitive AI-assisted test creation, and enhancing test reliability and maintainability for a more scalable suite of tools. With Rapise, teams can test up to 30% faster and see a 40% better ROI on their test automation suite ownership. Today, we’ll look at how Rapise achieves this and enables teams like yours to future-proof their QA and testing.

12 Reasons Why Rapise Should Be Your Automated Testing Software
1. Comprehensive Multi-Platform & Cross-Browser Support
Having a single automated testing environment to handle everything significantly accelerates scaling automation across teams and reduces training and licensing overhead. Unlike many tools that specialize in one domain (e.g. web or mobile), Rapise enables end-to-end testing across web, desktop, mobile, API, hybrid, and enterprise applications from a single, unified system. This means that teams don’t have to jump from tool to tool to test different platforms, which saves time, money, and workflow complications.
Rapise also comes with cross-browser testing out of the box, so you can easily record a test once and then execute it across all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and more). All of this is possible without script modification, putting it far ahead of most other testing solutions. Beyond web apps, it also supports native desktop apps, mobile apps, and enterprise platforms like Salesforce, Oracle, and Dynamics 365. This puts far broader coverage at your fingertips than tools that are focused solely on web UI automation.
2. Cutting-Edge AI Test & Synthetic Data Generation
While some tools may suggest basic keywords or templates, Rapise and Inflectra.ai deliver context-aware code and generate synthetic data tailored to your specific application and framework. This immediately puts you ahead of the competition by providing agentic AI capabilities far beyond the typical “AI helpers” found in other automated testing tools.
For example, Rapise can transform plain language test steps into fully executable test scripts. This lowers the barrier to entry for automation when it comes to non-technical team members (however, it still has advanced scripted capabilities for those who prefer coding).
As data becomes more sensitive and safeguarded, an invaluable feature of generative AI is creating synthetic test data that mimics real data but doesn’t risk exposure or non-compliance. Rapise quickly automates this, enhancing test coverage across edge cases and mitigating the risk of data misuse.
3. Intuitive Codeless/Scriptless Testing
While Rapise also offers scripted testing, its scriptless framework (using a proprietary visual test language called RVL) significantly reduces onboarding time and spreads automation responsibilities beyond a select few developers. This means that the entire QA organization can contribute and help, building automated tests without writing any code.
This is especially important for teams with limited programming experience, so domain experts like QA analysts and product owners can create automation flows in a visual editor. This is a major advantage over Selenium/WebDriver-only tools because they don’t natively support visual editing. Rapise’s scriptless testing enables more hybrid models that seamlessly combine codeless RVL with traditional JavaScript as needed. This hybrid approach also makes it easier for teams to migrate from scriptless to scripted automation over time.
4. Automated Record & Playback
While many automated testing platforms offer simple recording, these often have very brittle playback or require heavy script editing afterwards. Rapise minimizes the cleanup necessary post-recording, making reliable test creation even faster. It does this with its “Learn and Go” intelligent recording that builds parameterized scripts as you interact with the application.
Because of this intelligence, it goes beyond simple recording and builds a reusable object repository that can be centrally maintained. It also has fallback analog recording, using this as a backup for difficult UI elements like graphics applications. All of these capabilities streamline your workflows and are handled automatically, which other automated testing software can’t match.
5. Advanced Self-Healing Tests
Another key challenge of UI elements is that changing them can break testing scripts. Although many platforms claim to be self-healing, Rapise uses an advanced and AI-grounded approach to self-healing tests that improves reliability in real-world scenarios. For example, Rapise doesn’t rely on a single locator — it stores multiple identification strategies and selects the best one at runtime.
Its advanced object recognition and multi-locator strategies automatically detect and adapt to changes. This is further enhanced by its native inclusion of Inflectra.ai, which provides more context-aware object detection and healing beyond basic locator rules. The result is vastly reduced brittleness and less maintenance overhead for your test suites.
6. Deep Integration With CI/CD Pipelines
Plenty of tools can automate UI actions and offer basic CLI triggers, but Rapise uniquely supports CI/CD without additional tooling or manual steps. In fact, it’s designed to seamlessly fit into modern DevOps workflows through native integrations. In other words, you can easily embed sophisticated automation into your pipeline without expensive add-ons or custom scripting.
Rapise tests can be run via command-line engines that are easily consumed by Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and more. However, it also has built-in connectors and workflows for these major platforms, so teams can orchestrate automated tests in conjunction with builds and releases. All of this happens smoothly and without the need for custom adapters, plugins, extensive scripting, etc.
7. Future-Proofing Powered by AI Workflows
Automated testing software on the market today may offer plain test case generation built on basic templates, but Rapise’s AI features are project-aware and embedded. It’s designed to be a core part of the automation experience, not an add-on to upsell customers. The result is more scalable automation as your applications and systems evolve, reducing manual effort and future-proofing your automation strategy for years to come.
The AI engine within Rapise understands your specific project’s object model and testing framework based on context, so it can translate natural language test descriptions into executable tests that match your preferences and needs. This goes beyond producing generic boilerplate code like other AI coding tools, meaning that it’s far more effective and impactful. Not only does it understand, but it can learn as well — assessing edits and outcomes to improve the fidelity and longevity of tests and data sets. Even better, this AI is embedded within the platform, so you don’t have to worry about the security risks of external services and floating keys.
8. Unifies With Test Management
A lot of testing software focuses specifically on executing tests, but few tools offer true traceability across requirements, test cases, and defects (without manual linking). Combining SpiraTest with Rapise doesn’t behave as two separate platforms — they work together to form a single, cohesive lifecycle platform that reduces context switching. Instead of two pillars, they become a deeply integrated and fused system for end-to-end quality management.
They work together to centralize control and reporting of requirements, test plans, test results, defects, and traceability in a single pane of glass. As soon as Rapise executes tests, the results (including detailed logs and reports) flow into SpiraTest. This harmonious combination extends both platforms’ capabilities, enabling teams to schedule, trigger, and manage automated tests via dashboards. All of this comes with unmatched traceability to monitor test cases, requirements, defects, and more.
9. Supports Legacy & Complex Frameworks
If you’re looking for an effective test automation tool, it’s important to consider what systems your choice is built to support. This is because many modern platforms focus primarily on web or mobile and leave legacy applications in the dust. Thankfully, Rapise supports modern web and mobile apps, as well as legacy and hybrid UIs for mixed technology stacks. This, combined with the fallback analog recording mentioned earlier, makes it ideal for a wide variety of projects.
For example, Rapise can automate applications that mix multiple UI technologies, such as components with both modern web tech and embedded legacy elements. For particularly complicated and hard-to-automate interfaces, its analog record and playback facilitates automation when the more advanced, object-based methods fail.
10. Self-Contained IDE
Some automated testing software requires external IDEs or forces testers to work across multiple disconnected tools. Rapise offers an all-in-one alternative to these options, providing an integrated IDE that acts as a full development workspace tailored for test automation. It also uses JavaScript (instead of a proprietary language you need to learn) as its scripting language, because of its widespread use by developers and test engineers, reducing the learning curve for starting.
This self-contained IDE supports script creation, debugging, and execution in one place. Rapise also features real-time object discovery and debugging to improve accuracy and reduce guesswork. Lastly, Rapise’s IDE supports and unifies both coded and codeless tests in the same environment, reducing tool fatigue and extensive context switching.
11. Extensible With Third-Party Libraries
Instead of locking you into proprietary languages or limited extension models, Rapise is built on a flexible JavaScript engine that allows you to evolve your automation strategy without limitations. In fact, most other automated testing software simply can’t match Rapise’s extensibility. For example, users can add third-party JavaScript libraries or custom frameworks directly into their tests.
Beyond standard UI objects, Rapise also enables custom recognizers or JavaScript logic to expand automation coverage into more niche or proprietary components. On top of this, Rapise can integrate with WebDriver and Appium to execute tests via Selenium or interface with Appium for mobile automation. This opens the door to open-source ecosystems and puts them at your fingertips via Rapise’s structured frameworks.
