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.
Approaches
Five ways teams protect a Salesforce process
Compared by approach rather than by product. We don’t name other vendors or publish claims about their behaviour, because we can’t verify it.
| Approach | What it’s good at | Where it stops | What Milita does instead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apex unit testsCode 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 automationA browser-automation framework, or a testing 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 learns by watching the work done once, and grades the business result. |
| Record and replayCapture 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 testingA 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. |
| Doing nothingFind 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 one process forever, which is the cheapest way to stop guessing. |
The core difference
Watching never counts.
Every approach above treats something as evidence: passing code, a finished script, a completed replay, a ticked checklist. 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.
A demonstration teaches her. It proves nothing. That’s the whole design.
Where she isn’t the answer
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.
FAQ
Comparison questions
Is Milita a Salesforce regression testing tool?
That’s the category people search in, and it’s a fair label. The difference is what she checks. Regression testing usually means re-running scripts to see whether they still pass. Milita re-performs the business process itself and checks the results that matter — that the 25% quote entered Finance Review, that sending it before approval was refused. A run that only finished clicking can’t pass.
How is this different from a Salesforce test automation tool?
Those tools are built around authoring and maintaining tests, and they are good at it. Milita is built around a different premise — you show her the work once, as the person who normally does it, and she works out what must hold. There is no test suite to write, and no scripts to repair when a screen moves; when one control changes she asks to see that one control. Whether that trade suits you depends on whether you have people who want to own a test suite.
Do I still need Apex tests?
Yes. Salesforce requires them to deploy, and they catch a class of defect Milita never will. Apex tests prove your code is right; Milita proves the business process still works across your real screens, permissions and packages.
Can Milita replace our manual regression checklist?
For the processes you teach her, she does that work continuously rather than once per release. She won’t cover what you haven’t shown her, so most teams start with the handful of processes that would hurt most if they broke quietly.
What does she cost compared with a test automation tool?
The free plan proves one process forever with no card. Pro is $95 a month. See Pricing. Most scripted tools price per seat or per test, and carry the ongoing cost of whoever maintains the scripts.
Try her on one process.
Free forever for a single Promise. No card, and nothing to cancel.
