Announcing Harness AI Test Automation: The Future of End-to-End Testing Is Here!

We’re excited to announce the General Availability (GA) of Harness AI Test Automation – the industry’s first truly AI-native, end-to-end test automation solution, that's fully integrated across the entire CI/CD pipeline, built to meet the speed, scale, and resilience demanded by modern DevOps. With AI Test Automation, Harness is transforming the software delivery landscape by eliminating the bottlenecks of manual and brittle testing and empowering teams to deliver quality software faster than ever before.

This launch comes at a critical time. Organizations spend billions of dollars on software quality assurance each year, yet most still face the same core challenges of fragility, speed, and pace. Testing remains a significant obstacle in an otherwise automated DevOps toolchain, with around 70-80% of organizations still reliant on manual testing methods, thus slowing down delivery and introducing risks.

Harness AI Test Automation changes that paradigm, replacing outdated test frameworks with a seamless, AI-powered solution that delivers smarter, faster, and more resilient testing across the SDLC. With this offering, Harness has the industry’s first fully automated software delivery platform, where our customers can code, build, test, and deploy applications seamlessly.

What Makes Harness AI Test Automation Different?

Harness AI Test Automation has a lot of unique capabilities that make high-quality end-to-end testing effortless.

"Traditional testing methods struggled to keep up, it is too manual, fragile, and slow. So we’ve reimagined testing with AI. Intent-based testing brings greater intelligence and adaptability to automation, and it seamlessly integrates into your delivery pipeline." - Sushil Kumar, Head of Business, AI Test Automation

Some of the standout benefits of AI Test Automation are:

Create High-Quality Tests in Minutes: No Code Required

AI Test Automation streamlines the creation of high-quality tests:

• Live Test Authoring: Record tests automatically by simply interacting with your web app. No scripting or coding expertise needed.
• Intent-Based Testing: Author test cases and assertions using natural language prompts. Just type what you want to verify—like “Did the login succeed?”—and let AI handle the rest.
• AI Auto Assertions: Harness AI suggests and auto-generates assertions after each step, pre-verified for seamless functionality. This ensures robust coverage and saves hours of manual work.
• Visual Testing with AI: Validate complex UI elements, including dynamic and canvas-based components, using human-like visual testing. Use natural language to verify visual states, eliminating the need for fragile scripts.

Self-Healing, Adaptive Test Maintenance

AI Test Automation eliminates manual test maintenance while improving test reliability:

• AI-Generated Selectors: Tests adapt automatically to UI and workflow changes, dramatically reducing test flakiness and maintenance by up to 70%.
• Run Stable Tests Across Environments: Smart Selector technology and automatic URL translation ensure tests work everywhere, with no modifications required.

AI Test Automation adapts to the UI changes with its smart selectors

Intelligent, Scalable Test Execution

AI Test Automation boosts efficiency and streamlines testing workflows:

• Intelligent Retries: AI Test Automation distinguishes between transient issues and real bugs, reducing false positives and debugging time.
• Parallel Execution: Effortlessly scale to thousands of tests running in parallel, optimizing validation as your application grows.
• Data-Driven Testing: Parameterized tests dynamically handle data at runtime, enabling flexible and efficient workflows.

Seamless Integration and Enterprise-Grade Security

AI Test Automation enables resilient end-to-end automation:

• Unified with Harness CI/CD: AI Test Automation is natively integrated with Harness pipelines, enabling true end-to-end automation from build to deploy.
• SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance: Enterprise-ready security and compliance, so you can trust your test automation at scale.
• No-Code Simplicity + Advanced Flexibility: Add custom JavaScript or Puppeteer scripts for complex scenarios — get the best of both worlds.

Real Results: Customer Success Stories

At Harness, we use what we build. We’ve adopted AI Test Automation across our own products, achieving 10x faster test creation and enabling visual testing with AI – all fully integrated into our CI/CD pipelines. Since AI can be nondeterministic, and testing AI workflows using traditional test automation tools can be hard, we also use AI Test Automation to test our internal AI workflows.

“With AI Test Automation, I just literally wrote out and wireframed all the test cases, and in a matter of 15–20 minutes, I was able to knock out one test. Using the templating functionality, we were able to come up from a suite of 0 to 55 tests in the span of 2 and a half weeks.” - Rohan Gupta, Principal Product Manager, Harness

‍

Our customers are seeing dramatic results, too. For example, using Harness AI Test Automation, Siemens Healthineers slashed QA bottlenecks and transformed test creation from days to minutes.

“We could just see in the browser exactly where it went wrong and directly edit that step. That was really fast and quick.” - Amrita Majumder, Lead QA Engineer, Siemens Healthineers.

Wasimil, a hotel booking and management platform, has reduced its test maintenance time by 50%, allowing it to release twice as frequently as it used to before using Playwright.

"With AI Test Automation, we could ship features, not just bug fixes. We don't wanna spend 30 to 40% of our engineering resources on fixing bugs because we can't be proud to ship bug fixes to our customers. Right? And they expect features, not bug fixes."
- Tom, CTO, Wasimil
