Testim: Using AI to scale functional TestOps

Testim - Intellyx Brain CandyAn Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

There’s an age-old sacrifice inherent in end-to-end functional software testing. Either you can capture every user action and view as a high-fidelity test script that lacks reusability, or you must abstract away some of the browser-specific UI details to allow greater automated test reusability with less visibility.

Testim seeks to help development teams straddle both sides of this testing conundrum by using their AI approach to compartmentalize user behaviors and UI presentation details as breakpoint objects that can be dynamically reassembled and scaled to thousands of automated tests within the delivery pipeline.

The goal of the TestOps practice Testim espouses is to allow user-relevant functional testing with high coverage ratios without requiring test refactoring that breaks the cadence of fast DevOps-style software releases. 

Enabling features we’d expect of a modern test solution such as CLI invocation, low-code dashboard style test authoring, service virtualization of dependencies and data, and test analytics and documentation are all there.
