Milita vs the alternatives.
Most teams arrive here looking for Salesforce regression testing, test automation, or an alternative to maintaining UI scripts. This page is an honest account of how Milita differs, including where one of the alternatives is the better answer. We compare by approach rather than by product, and we don't publish claims about other vendors' behavior we can't verify.
Seven ways teams protect a Salesforce process.
| Approach | What it's good at | Where it stops | What Milita does instead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apex unit tests Code you write, run by Salesforce | Proves a method returns the right value. Required for deployment, and genuinely good at what it does. | Can't tell you whether a rep can build a quote and clear approval across your real screens, permissions and managed packages. | Keep them. Milita doesn't replace them. |
| Scripted UI test automation A browser framework, or a tool built for Salesforce | Drives the real interface, so it exercises what people actually use. | Someone has to write and maintain the scripts, and a script passes when the clicks finish, which is not the same as the business result holding. | Milita works from the process described in plain words, and grades the business result. |
| Record and replay Capture a session, play it back | Fast to create. No coding. | Replays one identity with the data you recorded, and breaks when the screen moves. The recording is treated as the definition of correct. | Milita performs the process herself, as each required person, with fresh data. |
| Manual regression testing A person works through a checklist before each release | Catches things nobody thought to automate. | Expensive, slow, and only happens at release time, so silent breakage between releases goes unnoticed. | Milita re-proves after meaningful changes, and stays quiet while everything holds. |
| Autonomous AI testers An agent that navigates by sight and "self-heals" | Adapts to changing screens without scripts. | A model decides what passed. Non-deterministic, hard to audit, and often grading its own work. Independent reproductions of self-reported navigation benchmarks land far below the headline. | AI understands and proposes; a deterministic run against the real org decides. |
| Platform-native agent testing Batch synthetic conversations with pipeline hooks | Quick first pass over an agent's answers. | Single-turn, scores semantic similarity rather than the resulting org state, pre-deployment only. It can mark a hallucinated answer as passing. | Milita grades the resulting business state, repeatedly, in the real sandbox, independently. |
| Doing nothing Find out when a customer complains | Free, until it isn't. | A broken approval or routing rule doesn't raise an error. It surfaces later, as lost revenue or a compliance exposure. | The free plan proves 3 processes forever, which is the cheapest way to stop guessing. |
Only her own clean run counts.
Every approach above treats something as evidence: passing code, a finished script, a completed replay, a ticked checklist, a model's confidence. Milita only accepts one thing: a run she performed herself, in a clean session, as the required people, with fresh test data, where every required business result held.
What you tell her teaches her. It proves nothing. That's the whole design.
Deploy with your DevOps tool. Verify with Milita.
Release and DevOps tools push the change. Milita proves it did not break anything. Backup, data and security tools share the buyer and the story. A pipeline can ask Milita for a Proof before a change is promoted. The release gate.
When not to use Milita.
You need Apex code coverage to deploy.
That's what Apex tests are for. Milita doesn't produce coverage and doesn't try to.
You want load or performance testing.
Milita proves that a business result holds, not how fast it holds or what happens under load.
You want someone to write automation for you as a service.
Milita is software you operate, not a testing consultancy.
Your process has no checkable business result.
If nobody can say what proves it worked, Milita has nothing to grade.
