End-to-End Testing With an AI That Thinks Like a Tester and Learns From Users — Meet TrueTest™

During our recent webinar Quality Horizon 2025, the virtual room buzzed with energy, filled with insightful questions that pushed our thinking forward. But one particular query truly struck a chord, a question that elegantly highlighted a core challenge in AI-driven testing:

“We’ve been generating test cases using AI, but what about core functionality user stories like end-to-end flows? Unless the product knowledge is known, AI can’t generate accurate test cases. I agree if the user stories are related to UI testing, that’s different. UI testing doesn’t require understanding the functionality — it’s mostly about identifying XPaths.”

The observation was spot on. It perfectly captured a critical limitation we’ve seen across the current AI testing landscape. While AI algorithms can easily generate UI test cases by analyzing structure and identifying XPaths, a mechanical exercise, the realm of end-to-end flows is entirely different.

End-to-end flows go far beyond surface-level UI interactions. These user journeys aren’t just a series of clicks. They represent how users interact with your product to accomplish real goals. They’re grounded in business logic, shaped by user intent, and span complex interactions across your application.

Without a deep understanding of how your product works, AI-driven testing inevitably misses the mark:

  • It won’t capture what users do. 
  • It won’t prioritize the flows that matter most to your business. 

Katalon TrueTest represents a major leap forward in intelligent test automation, designed specifically to tackle the complexity of end-to-end testing using real user behavior from your production environment.

Imagine an AI that doesn't work based on predefined requirements or outdated assumptions. TrueTest observes how real users interact with your live application, tracking their actions, the features they use, and the outcomes they achieve. This rich behavioral data forms the foundation for generating high-coverage, meaningful automated tests that reflect how your product is truly used.

How TrueTest transforms end-to-end testing:

  • Learns from real user behavior: It analyzes anonymized production data to understand how users interact with your app.
  • Automates testing for core functionality: It generates maintainable, robust tests for real-world end-to-end flows, not just surface-level UI paths.
  • Prioritizes testing based on real usage: TrueTest identifies and focuses on the most frequent and critical user journeys.
  • Reduces maintenance and enhances stability: Since tests are based on real behavior and adapt to changes, they’re more stable and require less manual upkeep.

TrueTest embodies our mission at Katalon: enabling teams to release high-quality software faster, with confidence. It’s about going beyond shallow UI checks to gain deeper, actionable insight into how your product delivers value.

We're excited to hear what you think, and even more excited to see how TrueTest helps you test smarter.
