Progress announced the launch of Progress Data Cloud, a managed Data Platform as a Service designed to simplify enterprise data and artificial intelligence (AI) operations in the cloud.
SmartBear has integrated VisualTest, its AI-driven automated regression visual testing tool released in February, with UI test automation tool, TestComplete.
Testers can now automate visual regression testing without the need to write automation script, making visual testing capabilities available to more users. VisualTest leverages AI to catch visual defects while ignoring false positives to quickly confirm a website or app looks as designed before being released, ensuring the best customer experience. VisualTest’s AI capabilities allows TestComplete users to experience simpler workflows.
“Historically, visual testing has been difficult to automate due to false positives that create extra manual work,” said Prashant Mohan, Senior Director of Product Management at SmartBear. “Now our new codeless AI solution adds human-like capabilities to automate visual testing in an efficient way. It can catch visual bugs that functional tests miss while also filtering out false positives, maximizing workflow efficiency."
Adding VisualTest alongside the AI-powered IQ add-on, TestComplete makes functional testing smoother and easier. The integration takes TestComplete's AI further for even more well-rounded testing.
VisualTest and TestComplete also integrate with mobile and web application testing solution, BitBar, enabling teams to reduce context switching between visual, web, and real-device testing.
This also provides an additional way for manual testers to ensure high-quality UI experiences and greater confidence in their release quality.
