Applitools is proud to announce its positioning in the Major Players category in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud Testing 2022 Vendor Assessment \u2014 Empowering Business Velocity<\/a>. Applitools was also positioned in the Major Players category in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Mobile Testing and Digital Quality 2022 Vendor Assessment \u2014 Enabling Multimodal Dynamism for Digital Innovation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written by Melinda-Carol Ballou, Research Director, Agile ALM, Quality & Portfolio Strategies at IDC Research, this IDC study uses the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment of 24 vendors for worldwide cloud testing and enterprise automated software quality (ASQ) SaaS solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cParticipating vendors needed to have sufficient cloud testing automated software quality capabilities available in key areas of concern (e.g., test infrastructure provisioning and configuration management; deep analytics for analysis of performance optimization, service virtualization, and architectural and other analysis to enable visibility into the health of applications deployed in native and hybrid cloud; readiness for software targeting the cloud; and\/or delivery of their ASQ software solution in the cloud with partner integration for other capabilities) for IDC clients.\u201d<\/em><\/p>Source: IDC<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Applitools products considered as part of these vendor assessments include Applitools Eyes<\/a> and Applitools Ultrafast Test Cloud<\/a> (the combination of Applitools Eyes, Applitools Ultrafast Grid and Applitools Native Mobile Grid).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Applitools Enables Automated Software Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As software development teams rapidly deliver new products and services to market through more frequent and shorter release cycles, they struggle to fully test the customer experience due to increasing application complexity and an explosion of device\/browser combinations. When development teams are confident they can fix functional and visual bugs faster, they can push more high-quality code faster than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enable automated software quality consistently, quickly, and at a fraction of the cost, Applitools extends to its customers the power of Applitools Visual AI<\/a>\u2014the only AI-powered computer vision that accurately mimics the human eye and brain to avoid undetected functional and visual bugs, minimizing false positive bug alerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visual AI is trained on more than 1 billion images and supports analysis across custom regions, with advanced comparison modes\/match levels and auto-maintenance of test results. Tests infused with Visual AI (via Applitools Eyes) are created 5.8x faster, run 3.8x more stable, and catch 45% more bugs vs. traditional functional testing. In addition, tests powered by Visual AI can take advantage of the ultrafast speed and stability of Applitools Ultrafast Test Cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ultrafast Test Cloud can instantly validate entire application pages and detect issues on even the most complex and dynamic pages. It allows users to write and execute tests once locally with support for more than 50 test frameworks and programming languages including: Cypress, Storybook, Selenium Java, Selenium JavaScript, Selenium C#, Selenium Python, Selenium Ruby, Selenium IDE, Webdriver.IO, TestCafe, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A single functional test run captures the DOM & CSS rules for every browser state, automatically rendering it in parallel across all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Internet Explorer) and viewports using the Ultrafast Grid. Screenshots are then instantly analyzed by Applitools Eyes to find functional and visual bugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applitools integrates with all the major CI\/CD platforms, including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Travis CI, Circle CI, Semaphore, TeamCity, and Bamboo, as well as with defect- tracking\/collaboration systems, including Jira, CA Rally, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. The Applitools Eyes dashboard also enables collaboration between design, product, development, testing, and DevOps teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated software testing powered by Visual AI can help developers test 18 times faster across the full test cycle including writing, running, analyzing, reporting, and maintaining tests. That\u2019s because Visual AI-powered automated tests that leverage the Ultrafast Test Cloud can run 30-50x faster than traditional solutions, with 99.9999% accuracy.*\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReferences contacted by IDC found that Applitools’ solution led to greater efficiency in testing operations. They reported cost savings of up to 95% by making the switch to Applitools in combination with adoption of containers \u2014 additional testing tools were not required. Another customer reported that it was able to increase the speed of testing to reduce approval time for moving websites to production from 29 days to 1.5 hours. This is especially significant for a company maintaining 2,400 websites \u2014 Applitools helped ensure that sites maintained the same digital experience look and feel across pages as they changed dynamically, supporting up to five browsers and four viewpoints\u201d. <\/em><\/p>Source: IDC<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
