How AI is used
Applitools is an intelligent testing platform designed to automate the validation of user interfaces. It uses Visual AI to identify meaningful changes in an application's appearance, which helps reduce the false positives often found in traditional pixel-based testing tools. The platform consists of two main products: Eyes, for visual and functional testing, and Autonomous, for AI-augmented test creation.
It is designed for software companies, QA engineers, developers, and digital leaders. The tool is applicable for businesses in regulated sectors, such as finance and healthcare, where maintaining compliance with notices, disclosures, and accessibility standards is required.
Beyond standard web apps, the software supports native mobile applications, design components in Storybook, and PDF documents. It is designed to integrate into CI/CD pipelines, allowing teams to run validations during the release process.
Buyers should confirm their specific infrastructure needs, as the platform offers deployment options including public cloud, dedicated cloud, and on-premises hosting to meet security and compliance requirements.
