Visual AI Capabilities

Applitools is renowned for its Visual AI technology, a cutting-edge tool that automates the visual inspection process during tests. This technology uses sophisticated algorithms to mimic the human eye and brain, allowing it to detect visual anomalies that might otherwise go unnoticed. By doing so, it dramatically simplifies test validation and maintenance, ensuring apps appear and behave as intended across all device types.

Simplifying Test Validation and Maintenance

The integration of Visual AI into testing workflows reduces the manual effort required to spot defects, particularly those that are subtle yet potentially disruptive. Martin Kowalewski from Applitools emphasized this in the webinar:

“Our visual AI capabilities transform how tests are conducted, making it nearly automatic to identify discrepancies that could affect user experience adversely.”
