The document discusses the Applitools intelligent testing platform that addresses the challenges of cross-device and browser testing, emphasizing the need for a new testing strategy due to increasing software complexity and resource limitations. It highlights the benefits of visual AI-powered testing tools, including reduced maintenance efforts and improved coverage, which can significantly lower costs associated with bugs and test failures. The platform offers features like self-healing tests, instant compatibility validation across devices and browsers, and an easy setup for enriching existing automation projects.

2. With an exponential growth in complexity and
scale, software teams need a new way to test
VOLUME
Surging number of
interfaces, states, and
scenarios to verify
COMPLEXITY
UIs are more complex and
dynamic than ever before
VELOCITY
Increasing frequency of new
features and deployments,
especially w/ AI coding co-pilots
RESOURCES
Limited team budgets =
“do more with less.”
ENVIRONMENT

Poll:
How do you
currently
implement
cross
device/browser
testing?
● Manually test on different
devices/browsers
● Use cloud-based testing
platforms
● Automate testing with in-
house infrastructure
● Leverage Visual AI-powered
testing tools
● We don’t have a specific cross-
device/browser strategy

4. A test fails on a pre-prod build running on a real
device.
1. Could be a broken test needing maintenance, fixes,
and retesting → $$$
2. A BUG is found! 6 Commits, 4 PR’s, and 2 Sprints
already passed…
3. Developer learning curve impacts current sprint’s
velocity → $$$
4. Fixed commit needs retesting, regression, and re-
approval
5. Could the fix have introduced new bugs, breaking
other tests? → $$$
Back to square one!
A BUG’s Life

5. While dealing with endless maintenance, debugging/tracing of your infrastructure,
Cross-platform related bugs are most likely to have a visual representation.
The later you discover, costs rapidly scale-up.
