As organizations ship AI-influenced code faster, they face a growing visibility problem: AI-generated code validated by opaque AI agents creates a cycle of unquantifiable risk. Applitools provides a deterministic, outside vantage point, comparing your evolving product against a trusted production baseline to deliver a verifiable Go/No-Go signal at every release. At the core of the platform is a Deterministic Language Model (DLM) combined with Visual AI. The DLM converts plain English test intent into repeatable, debuggable steps with no LLM involvement at runtime, eliminating AI drift and flaky CI results. Visual AI replaces brittle DOM assertions with single-line visual snapshots that simulate how a real user sees your application, filtering out rendering noise and surfacing actual regressions. Together, they eliminate the maintenance tax of legacy test automation, shifting engineering time away from fixing broken scripts and toward building better test coverage. Core capabilities: - Visual AI testing replaces brittle DOM assertions with single-line visual snapshots that simulate how a real user sees your application, filtering out rendering noise and surfacing actual regressions - Deterministic Language Model (DLM) converts plain English test intent into repeatable, debuggable steps with no LLM involvement at runtime, eliminating AI drift and flaky CI results - Cross-browser and cross-device test coverage runs across thousands of browser and device combinations without local grid infrastructure or maintenance overhead - Framework-native SDKs integrate directly into Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium, and Storybook, so teams keep existing tooling and workflows - Automated baseline management groups related visual differences across browsers and resolutions for bulk one-click acceptance, reducing test maintenance as suites scale Applitools supports functional, visual, accessibility, API, component, and data-driven testing across web, mobile, desktop, PDFs, and documents, providing a consistent quality signal from design through production. ![Applitools](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/image/large_detail/large_detail_8aaa6b10508159969260369c0e12ac1d/applitools.png "Applitools") Applitools Discussions Most CommentedMost HelpfulCommon QuestionsNewest Showing **1** discussion ![Pinned by G2 as a common question](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Pinned by G2 as a common question") G2 Pinned by G2 as a common question • about 3 years ago More Options - Share [![linkedin](/assets/social-logos/linkedin-afe65e46604a5bd5105ab9c856116204040b6b3f2b2d42562fc8071ca0c48ca0.svg "linkedin")](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&summary=What+is+Applitools+used+for%3F&title=What+is+Applitools+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-applitools-used-for) [![twitter](/assets/social-logos/twitter-61aaec80434c71387b8f7326e480592eae71c0a65afd051d66fce9b75a9bf417.svg "twitter")](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=What+is+Applitools+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-applitools-used-for&via=G2dotcom) [![facebook](/assets/social-logos/facebook-350d0b410d6b10debcf893050e803a8633d53561aa42807b087b8daf9be3668f.svg "facebook")](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-applitools-used-for) [![gmail](/assets/social-logos/gmail-6db42f21e7c254fae201b112bef0dd15d25223a5cbb32691ce80eab43761eadf.svg "gmail")](https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=&su=What+is+Applitools+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-applitools-used-for%0aWhat+is+Applitools+used+for%3F) [![mail](/assets/social-logos/mail-d55c53b04bf49872e40cd2443b85a99caa23394e6cf154ae32a9d08377c15d86.svg "mail")](mailto:?subject=What+is+Applitools+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-applitools-used-for%0aWhat+is+Applitools+used+for%3F) - Copy link - [ ## What is Applitools used for? ](/discussions/what-is-applitools-used-for) What is Applitools used for?
