By Kunal Rao, Chief Customer Officer, Applitools Artificial intelligence was supposed to solve the software delivery bottleneck. Instead, it moved it. AI has delivered speed at a scale engineering teams have rarely experienced, but acceleration without co

Automated testing is only as valuable as the speed at which its results reach the people who can act on them. A test suite can be fast, thorough, and perfectly maintained, but if nobody sees the outcome until hours later, most of that value quietly evapor

Some of the most important things software produces never show up in a browser. They reach the customer as a document instead: a bank statement, an insurance policy, a device label, an invoice. Image Tester has been testing documents like these for years.

By Kunal Rao, Chief Customer Officer, Applitools There is an old rule in software delivery: fast, good, and cheap-choose two. Speed, quality, and cost are said to form an iron triangle, where pulling toward any one corner means giving ground on another. M

TL;DR AI coding assistants speed up feature development, but DOM-level checks and probabilistic AI testing tools cause flakiness and miss visual regressions. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connects Applitools Visual AI directly to IDE assistants

As your app grows, so does the gap between what you can test and what you have time to write: more screens, more edge cases, more documents to check. Applitools shipped four capabilities that close that gap without more test code: plain-English diff descr

TL;DR Legacy web monitoring relies on high-maintenance developer scripts or unpredictable probabilistic AI tools that trigger false alarms. Applitools Autonomous pairs Deterministic Language Models (DLMs) with Visual AI to run codeless, repeatable visual

Here's a question worth sitting with before you decide whether AI is coming for exploratory testing: what was exploratory testing actually doing that automation couldn't? Your answer decides everything else in this post. If exploratory testing means runni

By Kunal Rao, Chief Customer Officer, Applitools Governance and growth are often treated as opposites. They are not. It is easy to picture them at opposite ends of the same table. Growth is the work of moving fast: shipping, expanding, and winning new bus

When we opened the 2026 Test Automation University Learner Survey, we expected feedback about tool preferences and video lengths. Instead, practitioners and engineering leaders at all different career points flooded our data with raw, unvarnished insights
