Side by side
How they work.
Architecture, not adjectives.
| Question | mabl | AskUIComputer-use agent |
|---|---|---|
| How tests are written | Low-code trainer and test editor. | Plain language. Your manual test cases, often written from requirements. |
| Surfaces | Web, mobile web and APIs. | Desktop and remote computers, web browsers, Android emulators and phones, iOS simulators, several computers in one test, and embedded screens with no DOM. |
| When the screen is not as expected | Self-healing adapts tests when the UI changes. | The agent decides each next action from the screen. It closes unexpected pop-ups and corrects its own misclicks. Two attempts per step; In-Flight Guidance stops runs that loop; Dreaming proposes fixes for review. |
| Integrations beyond the UI | API tests next to UI tests in the same platform. | Tool Store: SQL over ODBC, HTTP, shell and file checks, off until enabled. Custom C# tools and MCP servers, for example Vector CANoe or dSPACE, called from plain-language steps. |
| Where it runs | mabl's cloud service. | Your machines and your CI. On-premise and air-gapped, with your own model. |
| Role of AI | Self-healing and AI-assisted authoring. | The engine. A computer-use agent performs every step. |
