Applitools has added Autonomous, an autonomous test automation platform, to its Intelligent Testing Platform. Autonomous unifies code-based testing with code-free autonomic testing. This is what makes it accessible to everyone, regardless of their programming experience.

Everyone from developers and quality assurance (QA) professionals to digital marketers will be able to benefit from the new capabilities Applitools provides to efficiently build, maintain and execute functional and visual tests in minutes across all environments, browsers and devices.

“The Applitools Intelligent Testing Platform is a game-changer as it empowers tech-savvy individuals and non-developers to leverage Autonomous testing to ensure flawless digital experiences,” said Alex Berry, CEO of Applitools.

“By harnessing Visual AI and Generative AI, we continue to advance UI test automation to streamline testing processes and expedite the delivery of flawless digital experiences. With Autonomous and our Intelligent Testing Platform, we empower individuals from various teams to contribute to the quality of digital experiences. By fostering cross-team collaboration and putting app and digital asset quality control in all hands, bugs are prevented from reaching production so customers can save resources and invest in innovation and mission-critical endeavors”, he added.

The company says the move is a response to the challenges associated with traditional testing methodologies, which have often not kept pace with the rapid pace of development.

The approach the company uses combines codeless and code-based testing, enabling integration into CI/CD pipelines and offering capabilities such as natural language test building and Visual AI. This enables comprehensive test coverage and reliability at scale, significantly improving the speed of delivery and quality of digital experiences.

With the addition of Autonomous, the Applitools Intelligent Testing Platform stands at the forefront of AI-powered test automation across applications and documents. The platform now includes five powerful solutions that, together, will change the way organizations ensure error-free digital experiences:

• Autonomous: a game-changing generative test platform for web and multi-page web applications that reduces manual work at every stage of the testing lifecycle. It automatically generates and self-maintains comprehensive, powerful and resilient test suites, and allows using plain English and Visual AI to validate complex scenarios.
• Preflight: a codeless testing platform for QA professionals building comprehensive, end-to-end tests for web applications of any complexity.
• Eyes: an AI-powered engine that can integrate into nearly any test framework and language to help validate any interface, from web applications to mobile applications, documents and more.
• Ultrafast Grid: the next generation of cross browser testing, Ultrafast Grid allows users to perform visual testing across multiple browsers and devices in seconds, to ensure content is visually perfect on every device, screen size, and browser combination.
• Execution Cloud: the first cloud-based testing platform with built-in self-healing capabilities that enable engineering and testing teams to run existing tests against an AI-powered test infrastructure.

By combining the power of Autonomous, Preflight, Eyes, Ultrafast Grid and Execution Cloud, teams can reduce manual work, create and maintain resilient tests using plain English and involve more teams in the QA process.
