Adam Carmi, a co-founder and the CTO of software testing giant Applitools, recently demonstrated the capabilities of autonomous visual testing with a live demo at the QA Financial Forum London, which took place in the British capital last month.

It showed how Applitools’ technology can be used to detect faults and streamline test maintenance.

“Facing an exponential growth in complexity and scale in the applications they manage, software teams need a new way to test,” said Carmi.

“Most test automation projects fail to scale,” he added.

Autonomous testing, however, can change the game. “You can attain near complete test coverage. Autonomous testing lowers the skill-set required and it drastically reduces human involvement,” he explained.

“Aside from freeing your team from the complexities of code, these capabilities mean reduced risk, improved delivery velocity, and superior digital experiences that align with consumer expectations and business goals,” Carmi shared.

Carmi spoke last month at the London conference of the QA Financial Forum, a global series of conference and networking meetings for software risk managers, which took place on September 11, in the heart of the British capital.

The agenda was designed to meet the needs of software testers working for banks and other financial firms working in regulated, complex markets.

The full-day event, held at the America Square Conference Center in the heart of the City, brought together more than 100 expert speakers and delegates from leading firms including JP Morgan Chase, LSEG, STOXX, Nationwide, Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC and a range of others, who shared their insights and experience on topics such as networking testing, data management and the unstoppable rise of artificial intelligence.

Also discussed were timely issues such as enterprise benchmarks for compliance, DORA and regulation, as well as green software, sustainability in testing and overall ESG principles in the QA space.
