The document outlines the challenges of traditional test automation, including inadequate coverage and inefficiencies, leading to bugs escaping into production. It introduces Applitools Visual AI as a solution that enhances testing by mimicking human visual perception, enabling better handling of dynamic content and shifting elements across various devices. Visual AI integrates into existing frameworks, improving test speed and efficiency while increasing coverage and reducing maintenance costs.

1. Deliver Visually Perfect Digital Experiences
across every screen
with Test Automation powered by Visual AI

2. What we hear from engineering
& quality leaders
Traditional test automation cannot keep up
Not enough time or people
to automate all the tests
Leads to coverage gaps and relying on
manual spotchecking to keep up with
frequency of releases
Wasted time fixing test
automation scripts
Change in the application or
environment results in unstable
test automation - you cannot
“set it and forget it”
Not enough time to
validate all the browsers
& devices
Cloud execution grids are too
complex to manage, unreliable,
expensive and slow
Manual review still required
to find all the defects
But humans are error prone and
there is not enough time to reliably
test every build or every release
manually.
… and bugs still
escape into production
Traditional automated testing
cannot keep up or detect all
defects in modern web and mobile
applications

Late-stage defect discovery
disrupts schedules
Increases time, effort and resources
involved - disrupting release and
development efforts

5.8X
FASTER
Visual AI allows tests to be coded 5.8x faster compared
to the traditional code-based approach
5.9X
MORE EFFICIENT
Test code powered by Visual AI increases coverage via
open-ended assertions and is thus 5.9X more efficient
per line of code.
3.8X
MORE STABLE
Reducing brittle locators & labels via Visual AI means
reduced maintenance overhead.
45%
MORE BUGS CAUGHT
Open-ended assertions via Visual AI are 45% more
effective at catching bugs.
