Release 25.2

See what's new in Perfecto 25.2 (released on February 16, 2025):

AI Validation for adaptive, intelligent testing

You can now validate visual checkpoints in your application UI using Perfecto's AI Validation feature. AI-based validations enable you to:

  • Leverage advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to validate applications visually and contextually and dynamically adapt to application changes without human intervention

  • Simplify the creation and maintenance of tests by dynamically adapting to changes without requiring manual script updates or fragile locators, reducing costs, accelerating time-to-market, and ensuring higher quality

  • Test elements that were previously untestable, like dynamic dashboards, graphs, and complex visual components

You can access and run Perfecto's AI-based validation command through the AI Visual Checkpoint command in Scriptless Mobile or as part of your Appium scripts using a new Perfecto extension called perfecto:ai-validation.

To be able to use the new AI Validation feature, your organization's Perfecto administrator needs to explicitly consent to the usage of AI.

Important: If you access and use any features provided in Beta mode, we would love to hear your feedback or functionality suggestions before the Beta feature becomes generally available and fully supported under a subscription license model. Feel free to contact Perfecto Support anytime!
