Autify

Autify is a no-code test automation platform where you create web and mobile tests by simply recording what you do. Its AI repairs tests when your UI changes, and everything runs on Autify's cloud, so teams can keep serious test suites alive without a team of automation engineers.

What is Autify?

Autify is a no-code testing platform founded in 2016 by Ryo Chikazawa, who wanted to make automated testing accessible to every company, not just ones with dedicated QA engineers. You record a test by using the app the way a user would, and Autify turns that recording into a repeatable automated test.

The platform splits into Autify for Web and Autify for Mobile. Web tests run against your site in real browsers on Autify's cloud, while mobile tests run on real devices in their data centers, covering iOS and Android without you owning a single test phone.

The AI is the quiet workhorse here. When your UI changes, Autify detects the change and repairs the test automatically, so a redesigned button or a moved field does not wipe out your suite overnight. That is the maintenance burden that kills most no-code efforts, and it is exactly what Autify automates.

Key Features

  • Record web tests in the browser and mobile tests on real devices
  • AI-based automatic test repair when the UI changes
  • No-code authoring with JavaScript escape hatch for advanced logic
  • Cloud execution with parallel runs for speed
  • Visual testing and screenshot assertions
  • Test results with video, logs and step-by-step evidence
  • Integrations with CI/CD tools, Jira, Slack and more
  • Accessibility testing built into web scenarios

How to get started

The fastest start is a browser recording. Sign up, open the Autify recorder, and walk through a flow like signing up or adding an item to a cart. Autify captures the steps and generates a test you can run immediately.

From there you can add assertions, parameterize the test with different data, and schedule it to run after every deploy. The dashboard shows you every result with evidence, so failures are easy to investigate.

  • Create an Autify account and start a free trial
  • Install the recorder extension for web testing
  • Record a user flow in your browser
  • Add assertions and run the test in the cloud
  • Connect CI/CD to run the suite on every release

Use cases

  • Regression testing for teams without dedicated automation engineers
  • Cross-browser and cross-device coverage without maintaining a device lab
  • Mobile app QA on real iOS and Android devices
  • Testing critical user journeys like registration and payment
  • Frequent release cycles that need fast feedback
  • Companies with strong QA but limited programming capacity

Pricing and licensing

Autify is a subscription SaaS with a free trial, and paid plans are tiered by features, execution volume and the number of seats. Mobile device testing is billed separately from web testing.

The exact figures change as plans evolve, so head to the official website for current pricing.

Pros and cons

Autify shines at removing the two biggest obstacles to automated testing: the skill needed to write tests and the effort needed to keep them alive. Recording is fast, the AI repair saves real hours, and real-device mobile coverage is a genuine convenience.

The downsides are the usual ones for no-code platforms: less control over complex scenarios, cloud-only execution, and pricing that scales with usage. Developers who prefer writing tests in code will still reach for Playwright or Cypress, but for the rest of the team Autify is a gift.
