To keep up with the increased adoption of DevOps, QA teams demand higher levels of automation across a broad range of platforms and technologies to address the different phases of software delivery including plan, test, release and operate. Gartner predicts that by 2021, 50% of the enterprises will be using intelligent test automation powered by AI and machine learning.

Validata is the first company to use AI, machine learning and analytics to automate the testing and predict defects of an application – at the user level not the code level, enabling automated test case generation and support for Gherkin/ BDD framework for non-technical users.

It supports a comprehensive DevOps process by providing integration between ALM, test automation and release automation, enabling Continuous Delivery with automated testing.

With the new release we expanded the capabilities for exploratory testing, scriptless mobile application testing and automated cross-browser testing, including API Testing, Service Virtualisation and a natural language test representation with visual editing, to further support DevOps and digital transformation initiatives.

With the new capabilities testers can find and fix defects faster than those using traditional legacy testing platforms. This is made possible by simplifying the recording of user actions with automated screenshots and sharing of detailed test results for faster feedback.

The latest release extends scriptless, model-based automation and its significant advantages over traditional techniques, by enabling testing teams to execute scriptless, cross browser testing with Selenium WebDriver. By leveraging Selenium WebDriver, a single Validata test case can be executed automatically against thousands of browser configurations and mobile environments. Tests can be executed on cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure or local machines.

To further speed up testing for Android and iOS, our new product release leverages Appium as its mobile engine, and with one script, you can test your Internet Banking and mobile apps without the need to rewrite scripts, giving testers the ability to execute a single test across many simulators or actual devices.

In addition, an enhanced test case design capability allows users to generate an optimised set of data-driven tests based on different combinational options of test data and the desired test coverage.
