TESTPLANT SOLVES THE ‘APPLICATION CRISIS’ WITH AI-POWERED DIGITAL AUTOMATION INTELLIGENCE TESTING SUITE
91% of developers state that user expectations for app innovation and quality have increased
66% identified automation as a critical challenge
Testplant CEO Dr John Bates urges enterprises to rethink test automation to avoid the “app scrapheap”
Boulder, CO & London, UK – September 13th, 2017 – Testplant today announced the launch of its Digital Automation Intelligence Suite to address significant development challenges it has identified as enterprises race to keep up with the pace of digital transformation.
A new study conducted by Kickstand on behalf of Testplant across the US and UK identified that app dev teams are under huge pressure to deliver high-quality user experiences and innovation quickly. Of the 600 respondents interviewed involved in app dev, 91% claimed increased user expectations, and 66% cited test automation needs beyond execution as a critical challenge.
The Digital Automation Intelligence Suite accurately verifies, predicts and monitors the user experience and customer success of an application before and after each release, shifting testing from a compliance activity to a revenue generating profit center focused on customer satisfaction, conversion, adoption, and retention. Digital Automation Intelligence uses AI, machine learning and analytics to automate the testing and analysis of an application, not at the code level but rather as users would see and interact with it.
Testplant’s Digital Automation Intelligence Suite builds on the award-winning Eggplant Functional and Eggplant Performance testing capabilities with the addition of Eggplant AI. Eggplant AI uses AI, machine learning and analytics to intelligently navigate applications, hunting defects and increasing user journey coverage. It predicts where quality issues are most likely to occur and correlates data to help product teams identify and resolve issues quickly. This works with other parts of the suite, includingEggplant Manager – to orchestrate test execution, Eggplant Automation Cloud – to manage hosted test devices, and Eggplant Integration – to integrate with the rest of your CI/DevOps infrastructure.
Digital Automation Intelligence is enabling organizations to transform test automation, increasing productivity, speed and coverage to keep up with the pace of DevOps, and improve time-to-market and customer satisfaction.
