Recently, TestGrid, a leading company in the test software field, announced the launch of its latest product - CoTester™ 2.0. This first enterprise-level AI test agent combines visual-language intelligence, human oversight, and robotic precision, aiming to address the critical shortcomings of early AI testing tools.

Traditional AI-driven platforms often fail to meet enterprise needs, as they usually rely on fragile automation technologies, limiting test coverage and requiring constant maintenance, which leads to extended release cycles, fragile test suites, and high additional costs. CoTester 2.0 solves this by implementing a multimodal visual-language agent (VLM) that can interpret application tests in a human-like way, handling visual, text, and layout information simultaneously, with built-in intelligent scheduling, bringing more resilient automated testing.

Different from traditional record-and-playback tools or prompt-based assistants, CoTester combines natural language understanding, low-code customization, and full code flexibility to form a unified platform. Enterprises maintain control throughout the usage process, and CoTester verifies directions at key checkpoints, ensuring approval before executing any action, thus ensuring AI acceleration without interfering with the human decision-making loop.

The debugging features of CoTester are also powerful, providing quick and reliable support for problem troubleshooting through execution logs, screenshots, and root cause analysis tools. It combines adaptive AI with robotic test automation (RTA), ensuring that test design is both smart and flexible while being executed with robotic precision, ensuring consistent and repeatable test results.

The core features of the platform include seamless handling of UI, API, and non-UI testing, flexible execution customization capabilities, support for importing custom test data from internal databases, datasets, or test data tools, providing actionable insights to accelerate problem resolution, and hybrid execution modes. In addition, CoTester offers enterprise-level security, supports full encryption and role-based access control, avoids vendor lock-in issues, and can run in Web and mobile, cloud, or on-premises environments.

CoTester 2.0 has been implemented in well-known enterprises across multiple industries such as finance, healthcare, telecommunications, e-commerce, and tourism, achieving significant results, such as an 80% reduction in regression cycles, a 90% reduction in test creation and maintenance time, and a threefold increase in problem detection for login and checkout processes.

"Early AI tools promised magic, but actually produced fragile and narrow solutions that struggled to keep up with real-world demands," said Harry Rao, founder and CEO of TestGrid. "CoTester 2.0 is different. It adapts to your needs, scales with the environment, and ultimately achieves the reliability level of the best engineers."

CoTester 2.0 is now available for enterprise deployment.
