Evaluate test generation, self-healing, smart test selection, and automatic maintenance features.
Maintenance Burden
What is the ongoing cost of keeping tests running?
Consider flakiness, update frequency, and engineering time required for upkeep.
Reporting & Evidence
What insights and artifacts are produced?
Look for reliability scores, trend analysis, and evidence suitable for stakeholder communication.
Enterprise Readiness
Does it meet security, compliance, and scale requirements?
Evaluate SSO, audit logging, SOC 2 compliance, and SLA guarantees.
Time to Value
How quickly can your team realize benefits?
Consider onboarding complexity, learning curve, and integration effort.
