algoQA Overview
Discover how algoQA automates software testing end-to-end — from scraping UI elements to generating BDD test cases, executable scripts, and AI-powered analytics.
What is algoQA?
algoQA is an AI-powered test automation platform that supports the full testing lifecycle, from profiling applications and designing scenarios to generating executable scripts and analyzing outcomes. It helps you automate testing for web, mobile, desktop, and API applications across multiple languages and frameworks. Instead of building test assets manually, you model the application and workflows in the platform, then let algoQA generate BDD-aligned outputs for execution. This approach shortens setup time, improves consistency, and gives teams a structured path from discovery to delivery.
How algoQA Works
algoQA follows a streamlined five-step workflow to take you from application profiling to production-ready test scripts.
Scrape UI Elements with algoScraper
The algoScraper tool captures all UI elements and XPaths from your application. Available as a browser extension for web apps or a desktop tool for non-web applications, it exports a structured file ready for profiling.

Profile the Application
Profiling creates an offline model of your application using nodes, features, and UI elements. You can upload the scraped file to auto-populate to the canvas or manually add nodes. Then record scenarios using the Record Scenario feature to capture workflows in precise execution order. Learn more: Canvas | Record Scenario | Managing Nodes and UI Elements
Generate Test Cases and Scripts
Once scenarios are designed, algoQA generates Gherkin-based Feature Files that comply with Behavior-Driven Development principles. From these feature files, the platform generates executable test scripts in your preferred language and framework without manual coding.

Update the Object Repository
The Object Repository file is an Excel document generated by algoScraper during scraping. It contains a comprehensive list of UI element details and their corresponding locators. You can map locators, customize entries, and maintain a single source of truth for all UI identifiers. Learn more: Object Repository Feature | Locator Mapping | Custom Object Repository
Execute Scripts and Check Code Quality
Execute generated scripts locally or in the cloud, then run code quality checks to catch duplicate methods, repeated XPaths, spelling errors, and other issues before deployment. Learn more: Script Execution in algoQA | Perform Code Quality Checks
