Why we are offering this certification exam

In today’s fast-moving marketplace where customers’ needs are getting increasingly complex, it is crucial for companies to accelerate their release cycle – to release faster than the competition, respond quickly to customer requests, and continuously improve their products.

But as the frequency of releases increases, so does the cost of software testing – the process of verifying that the software works as expected. This can be a huge burden for businesses.

While there is a growing awareness that test automation is essential to increasing business agility, some companies choose to slow down development and test manually because it is difficult to find engineers with the specialized skills required for test automation, and maintaining automated tests can be costly.

Our AI-based software test automation tool, Autify, allows users to create test scenarios without coding. The AI also detects changes in the user interface and automatically performs test maintenance. With Autify, anyone can easily automate tests, even without programming skills. Companies around the world have implemented Autify to improve the efficiency of their software QA practices and grow their business.

In 2019, we launched Autify for Web. In helping many customers, we realized there was a lack of certification standards in this new field of test automation – standards that certify that someone has the knowledge and advanced skills required for test automation.

To help organizations increase their competitive advantage through test automation, we have decided to offer a certification that recognizes an individual’s knowledge of test automation and skills in automating tests with Autify, as well as educational resources to gain the necessary knowledge.

A message from the CEO

Automating software testing is critical for increasing business agility. Although some people have the knowledge and advanced skills to automate tests, we have found there is a lack of standards to recognize them. By taking initiative and setting those standards, we hope to recognize and support those with a high level of knowledge and skills required to automate tests with Autify.
