Seeking to ease web and mobile app testing by leveraging AI, Perforce Software has unveiled Perfecto AI, an agentic AI testing tool that removes the need for test scripts, frameworks, or maintenance and streamlines testing workflows, according to the company.

Announced July 15 as part of the Perforce Continuous Testing Platform, the AI-powered testing tool enables teams to generate execution-ready test actions from plain language, validating apps across the web, Android, and iOS without having to write any code. Perfecto AI adapts in real time to changing user flows, UI updates, and test failures, marking a shift from script generation to true script elimination, according to Perforce.

Customers of Perforce already have reported efficiency gains of 50% to 70% in test creation and triage, along with reductions in manual validation and maintenance work, the company said. Integration with existing CI/CD pipelines by Perfecto AI enables new testing powered by AI, with no maintenance across web, desktop, and mobile. And unlike AI-only startups, Perforce still supports teams running legacy frameworks while enabling full AI-driven automation, Perforce said.
