Introducing Testim Copilot: Accelerate test creation through generative AI

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Tricentis Testim Copilot, the first of many Tricentis Copilot solutions. Tricentis Copilot solutions are a collection of advanced generative AI capabilities available as add-ons across our products that help customers boost their efficiency throughout the entire testing lifecycle. With Testim Copilot, we’ve added new advanced generative AI capabilities to Testim, an already AI-driven test automation platform. Now development teams can increase productivity and test complex applications more easily, reducing testing costs and improving application quality.

Generative AI: New technologies, new opportunities

The potential offered by generative AI is immense and life-changing. With this technology, we have the power to get the answers to our questions at our fingertips, research and discover more easily, create entirely new software code from a short text description, and more. Tasks that previously took hours now take minutes, freeing people to accomplish more with less effort.

Achieving application quality is no different. Generative AI offers the potential for greater efficiency and improved results when creating new test cases, analyzing test results, and diagnosing and debugging. According to IDC, developers who employ code assistants to create code more rapidly should increase the criticality of testing to ensure code quality. Otherwise, more and more new features will be developed but without the essential testing required to ensure they work in production. Testim Copilot puts similar code assistant technology in the hands of testers, allowing testing to keep up with development’s pace.

Testim Copilot: Your AI-driven coding assistant

No-code and low-code test authoring enables testers to create and maintain tests more quickly and with less effort. Tasks that used to require script-based testing, such as Selenium, now can be achieved by recording tests while interactively clicking through your application. These approaches have extended the power to author stable tests beyond only technical coders to the entire development team. However, testing more complex features may still require custom code and the expertise of a technical developer.

Testim Copilot leverages generative AI to automatically create JavaScript code for these custom code steps. Less-technical testers can create these test steps without having to code entirely by hand. Technical developers also benefit from the ability to create new tests faster without having to start from a blank page.

At its core, Testim Copilot provides the following functionalities:

• Generate: Create new custom steps automatically from a text description using generative AI.
• Explain: Select any JavaScript code and produce a readable description of what it does. Users can understand code with less effort, documentation becomes automatic, and code becomes more easily reusable across tests and projects.
• Fix: Reduce the time spent debugging texts by automatically analyzing code and leveraging suggested fixes.

These capabilities come together to make it easier to create new (and more complex) tests, reduce development effort by reusing standardized components, and simplify the process of debugging and fixing broken tests.

A deeper look

Testim Copilot integrates generative AI seamlessly within the Testim editor; no external tools are needed.

Generate

Simply ask Testim Copilot to generate a test step using its familiar chat interface, and it does the rest automatically. Testim Copilot creates JavaScript code without manual coding. As a result, teams create tests faster and without manual errors. Users also provide feedback about the quality of what is generated, allowing Testim Copilot to continue improving.

Explain

Leveraging existing code takes time and effort. Testers must understand what the code does, which often requires studying, reverse engineering, or learning from the original author. Moreover, existing code often lacks documentation, and it can be unclear whether it meets current functional needs. Testim Copilot eases this process by automatically explaining any JavaScript code, whether created with Testim Copilot or not. Simply select the code and ask for an explanation. Testim Copilot provides detailed interpretation to help testers understand code intent and produce documentation for better reuse.

Fix

Debugging tests drains the time and energy of the entire development team. Testim Copilot makes this easier by automatically analyzing code not only to find any problems, but also to suggest a fix. Simply select any JavaScript code and ask Testim Copilot to fix it.

Create higher-quality tests faster, responsibly

Testim Copilot increases testing productivity directly within Testim. Development teams gain:

• Increased speed: Authoring tests for even the most complex applications is faster and simpler.
• Better quality: Eliminate bugs and increase test reliability and quality using automatically generated test solutions.
• Greater productivity: Enable less-technical testers to create custom test steps, reducing the time and effort needed from technical experts.
• Seamless integration: Achieve quality faster with an easy-to-use, flexible interface directly within Testim.
• Security: Testim does not save customer data or use it to train the model.
