Testim

What is Testim?

Testim is an AI-powered platform for automating testing of web and mobile applications. It helps teams create, manage, and run tests faster, reduces maintenance time, and improves test quality. Its machine learning-based smart locators keep tests stable even as the application changes, and its interface is accessible to both developers and QA teams.

For web testing, Testim supports running tests in the cloud or on any Selenium Grid, and offers a free Community plan after the trial that includes local web and mobile test runs, live support, and web accessibility checks.

Testim Mobile lets you test native mobile apps on real or virtual devices, locally or remotely, with AI-powered smart locators, minimal-code test authoring, and visualization of the root cause of failures.

Testim integrates with existing workflows through tools like Jira, GitHub, and Saucelabs, helping software teams deliver high-quality releases faster.

Who created Testim?

Testim launched on July 14, 2017, with the goal of making software quality easier by addressing the common pain points of automated end-to-end testing. It is positioned as a leading AI-powered test automation platform for custom web applications, built to help Agile teams manage and scale their automation projects. Testim was acquired by Tricentis, a major continuous testing company, in February 2022. Its customers include Microsoft, NetApp, and Sprinklr, with millions of tests run on the platform every month.
