A major platform release from Applitools introduces a deterministic governance layer for the Agentic Software Development Lifecycle by embedding Visual AI into AI-driven coding workflows.

The platform is designed to cut visual test maintenance by as much as 95%, eliminate false positives, and reduce token overhead, all while ensuring data governance and privacy.

It emphasizes enterprise-grade security and privacy, with SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure and assurances that sensitive UI data is not sent to public models or used to train third-party AI systems.

In response to risks from AI coding agents, the release enables reproducible visual verification across browsers, devices, and operating systems to lower review burden and reduce production visual bugs.

Three core innovations are unveiled: Eyes Visual AI MCP Tools for deterministic visual difference detection and autonomous baseline maintenance; Figma Design Baselines for automated visual references and scalable design comparisons; and NLP Test Steps for SDKs using plain-English execution powered by a Deterministic Language Model.
