The report helps organizations select the right solution for their software testing needs. Applitools achieved the highest scores possible in the following criteria:

• Visual AI
• Test maintenance and self-healing
• Reporting, analytics, and quality insights
• Market approach
• Partner ecosystem

Applitools has revolutionized automated testing by using artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to visually capture, analyze and validate components, websites, and applications with more speed and accuracy than the human eye. According to the report, a reference client said, “Applitools provides the source of truth of your system in the wild.”

Applitools Eyes can validate thousands of elements across User Interfaces in just minutes, even intelligently testing dynamic content like ads or app dashboards. As test validation becomes better and more ubiquitous at comparing interfaces, it yields more test results that testing and engineering teams must analyze, group and maintain. Using Visual AI, Applitools automatically analyzes these comparisons and groups them together based on environments, design components, browsers and more. Once grouped and reviewed, auto-maintenance also takes care of updating the new baselines – saving hours of repeat work in every release cycle.

According to Applitools’ 2022 State of UI/UX Report, 60% of Applitools customers are deploying changes to production daily, while only 37% of non-customers are deploying daily. This increase in release velocity is directly attributable to the significant increase in test coverage that Applitools offers. Applitools customers see more than 75% test coverage on average compared to non-customers that see less than 50% test coverage on average. With Applitools, test suite execution takes less than 15-20 minutes on average which is 4x faster than non-customers using traditional methods.

“We are proud to be recognized as a Strong Performer in this year’s Forrester Wave report,” said Gil Sever, CEO at Applitools. “Applitools scored the highest marks among the digital testing vendors in the report. For years, we have enabled engineering teams to work at the pace of CI/CD while ensuring flawless digital experiences are delivered – a must in organizations undergoing digital transformation. We will continue our legacy of modernizing testing strategies through Visual AI technology and the Applitools Ultrafast Test Cloud.”
