An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
Generally regarded as a leading enterprise app and software testing vendor, Tricentis isn’t letting the baggage of these mature product categories anchor its functionality to the conventional limits of QA.
As software becomes inexorably more complex and chaotic, devtest teams find themselves short-handed to define, build and run sufficient test suites. Even with robust automation, on-screen behavior and ephemeral back-ends change so fast, that tests become brittle after one run. Non-technical business expertise needs to be brought to bear alongside test practitioners to return appreciative value to this essential practice.
Tricentis recently tripled down on the use AI within its continuous testing offerings, announcing self-healing AI capabilities that can auto-repair test suites in line with the intended functionality to eliminate false positives and negatives, and AI risk assessment that focuses test coverage on functionality and comparisons of data that present the greatest potential change impact to the business.
The coolest part to watch was a peek into the newest Tricentis Tosca Vision AI capability, which can infer the operational controls of software and auto-construct tests and virtual stubs, not just from watching user sessions, but even by looking at static images or mockups much in the way an autonomous car uses sensors and cameras to recognize all available driving paths ahead of it.
Our previous vendor briefings with Tricentis were in 2018 and 2017.
