New EMA Research Finds AI is Crucial to Modern Software Testing

SAN MATEO, Calif., September 20, 2021 -- Applitools (https://applitools.com/) announced its inclusion in new research published by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) entitled, "Disrupting the Economics of Software Testing Through AI." According to the report, Visual AI has the highest impact on software testing as compared to other available applications of AI technology in the market today. As the first ever in-depth research report on the impact of AI on automated testing, the report found organizations reliant upon traditional testing tools and techniques fail to scale to the needs of today's digital demands and are quickly falling behind their competitors. The report identifies critical factors that hinder software engineering and DevOps teams including the escalating costs of quality control, and growing complexity associated with the increasing release velocity, number of smart devices, operating systems, and programming languages. As such, EMA Research examined the impact of six real world scenarios of traditional test automation practices.
