Applitools has announced the addition of Autonomous to its intelligent testing platform. Autonomous is an autonomous test automation platform that combines code-based testing with code-free autonomous testing, making it accessible to anyone regardless of coding experience.
Applitools stated that it addresses the challenges that come with traditional testing methodologies that often cannot keep up with the rapid pace of development. Applitools’ approach combines code-free and code-based testing, allowing integration into CI/CD pipelines and offering capabilities such as natural language and Visual AI test creation. This enables comprehensive test coverage and level reliability, significantly improving the speed of delivery and quality of digital experiences.
“The Applitools Intelligent Testing Platform is a game-changer by enabling both tech and non-developer individuals to leverage autonomous testing to ensure a seamless digital experience,” said Alex Berry, CEO of Applitools. “Using Visual AI and Generative AI, we continue to advance UI test automation to streamline testing processes and accelerate the delivery of seamless digital experiences. With Autonomous and our Intelligent Testing Platform, we empower individuals across teams to contribute to the quality of digital experiences. By fostering collaboration across teams and putting quality control of applications and digital assets in everyone’s hands, bugs are prevented from reaching production so customers can save resources and invest in innovation and mission-critical endeavors.”
The platform now encompasses five solutions designed to revolutionize the way organizations deliver error-free digital experiences. Autonomous is a transformative generative testing platform that streamlines the testing lifecycle for web and multi-page applications by automatically generating and maintaining comprehensive test suites. It leverages plain English and Visual AI to validate complex scenarios, significantly reducing manual effort and improving efficiency.
The platform also includes Preflight, a code-free testing tool tailored for QA professionals to create end-to-end tests for web applications of varying complexity, and Eyes, an AI-powered engine compatible with nearly all test frameworks and languages. This mechanism makes it easy to validate interfaces across platforms, from web and mobile apps to documents.
Additionally, Ultrafast Grid enables fast visual cross-browser testing, ensuring content renders seamlessly across a range of devices, screen sizes and browsers, while Execution Cloud offers a cloud-based testing environment with self-healing capabilities to support engineering and test teams in exploiting the test infrastructure based on artificial intelligence.
Together, these components — Autonomous, Preflight, Eyes, Ultrafast Grid, and Execution Cloud — empower teams to significantly reduce manual testing efforts. They enable the creation and maintenance of continuous tests in plain English, expanding the scope of involvement in the quality assurance process among teams. This comprehensive suite of tools not only speeds up the testing process, but also improves the quality and reliability of digital products, ensuring a seamless user experience across all platforms and devices, according to the company.
