AI Test Automation with Harness CD

Overview​

AI Test Automation is seamlessly integrated into the Harness Platform, enabling frictionless quality verification within your CI/CD pipelines. This integration allows development teams to automatically validate application functionality before deploying to new environments, reducing the risk of defects reaching production.

Benefits​

  • Simplified Pipeline Integration: Add automated testing directly within your existing Harness CD pipeline
  • Early Detection of Issues: Identify and resolve potential problems before they reach production environments
  • Increased Release Confidence: Deploy with confidence knowing your application has passed AI-powered testing
  • Reduced Manual Testing: Decrease dependency on time-consuming manual verification steps
  • Continuous Validation: Ensure application performance meets expectations in each environment

How It Works​

The AI Test Automation feature works by executing comprehensive test suites at strategic points in your deployment process. These tests analyze application behavior and functionality to verify that everything operates as expected before proceeding to the next stage.
