## Shortlist

### 1. Applitools

Visual AI and no-code end-to-end testing platform for web, mobile and AI-generated UI.

**Where it improves on Testim:**
- [API access: yes — Documented REST APIs exist for both Autonomous and Eyes, authenticated with an account API key, covering batch results, statistics, properties and SCM status.](https://applitools.com/docs/eyes/reference/server-api)

**Trade-offs against Testim:**
- [Writes code: partial — Autonomous turns a plain-English description into executable test steps, and TestGenAI generates Cypress test code from a recording, but it authors tests rather than application source code.](https://applitools.com/platform/autonomous/)
- [Debugs and fixes: partial — Eyes MCP localises a visual failure to the component file and source line and hands diff coordinates to the coding agent, which then applies the fix; Applitools itself does not land the change.](https://applitools.com/solutions/agentic-testing/)
- [Runs autonomously: partial — Tests run unattended on a schedule and in CI and maintenance is grouped automatically, but baseline resolution is deliberately gated behind a human authorisation step.](https://applitools.com/solutions/agentic-testing/)

### 2. Functionize Studio

Agentic end-to-end test platform that builds, runs and repairs tests against your live web app.

**Where it improves on Testim:**

**Trade-offs against Testim:**
- [Writes code: partial — It authors complete tests from a plain-language sentence, but the vendor positions coding agents as the writers of application code and Studio as the independent check on it.](https://www.functionize.com/)
- [Debugs and fixes: partial — Studio diagnoses a failing run, names the cause and lands the fix in the test itself; the repair is to the test step, not to the application source that broke it.](https://www.functionize.com/agent-tasks)
- [In your pipeline: partial — Enterprise prose claims CI/CD hookup through the same integration layer, yet the integrations page itself is a 'Coming Soon' placeholder with an MCP waitlist, so pipeline use is not demonstrably live.](https://www.functionize.com/enterprise)

### 3. Katalon

AI testing platform with authoring, test management, cloud execution and an MCP server for coding agents.

**Where it improves on Testim:**
- [Open-source runtime: partial — The standing Free plan authors and runs tests locally on your own machine with no paid subscription, but it is reached through a Katalon sign-up rather than a vendor-account-free download, and it omits AI, CI and cloud execution.](https://katalon.com/pricing)
- [API access: yes — Katalon publishes two REST API suites on its developer site, a TestOps API for results, schedules and reports and a TestCloud API for cloud execution, with documented authentication, errors and rate limits.](https://developers.katalon.com/reference/api-reference)
- [Admin controls: yes — Administrators hold role-based access control, project-scoped roles, licence allocation and the switch that enables, restricts or disables AI features per project or across the organisation.](https://katalon.com/security)

**Trade-offs against Testim:**
- [Debugs and fixes: partial — It diagnoses failing tests and repairs them: self-healing retries alternative locators and the Root Cause Analyzer recommends fixes, but the vendor frames the fix as a test change you review rather than a patch to application code.](https://katalon.com/)
- [Multi-agent: partial — Katalon publishes a dozen specialised agents (requirement analyser, generator, runner, root cause analyser) and an assistant that orchestrates end-to-end workflows, but no page describes several agents coordinating on one task as a user-configurable orchestration.](https://katalon.com/ai-powered-testing-platform)
- [In your pipeline: partial — CI/CD execution in Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps and GitLab is listed as included from Professional upward, but the vendor states it needs the separately purchased Katalon Runtime Engine add-on.](https://katalon.com/pricing)

### 4. mabl

Agentic testing platform whose agents author, run, recover and triage tests for web, mobile and APIs.

**Where it improves on Testim:**
- [API access: yes — A reporting API exports individual and batch results to any external tool, alongside a deployment events API, a CLI and a BigQuery feed, and it is available to trial users too.](https://www.mabl.com/blog/elevate-testing-impact-with-mabls-reporting-api-mabl)
- [Admin controls: yes — Role-based access control governs who may do what, and the recovery autonomy setting constrains what the agents themselves may change during a run; approval of healed tests is a screen in the product.](https://www.mabl.com/platform)
- [Single sign-on: yes — SSO with SAML is listed among the enterprise capabilities on the platform page; OIDC specifically is not named there, and Google and GitHub logins are offered for account sign-in.](https://www.mabl.com/platform)

**Trade-offs against Testim:**
- [Debugs and fixes: partial — It diagnoses test failures, classifies them and lands fixes to the test itself through auto-healing, but the fix to the application defect is handed to a developer as a Jira ticket.](https://www.mabl.com/active-coverage)
- [Free tier: partial — A self-serve 14-day free trial is advertised on the homepage and platform page with no sales call required, but there is no standing free plan after it ends.](https://www.mabl.com/pricing)

### 5. testRigor

Generative-AI test automation driven by plain-English test steps for web, mobile, desktop, API and mainframe.

**Where it improves on Testim:**
- [API access: yes — A token-authenticated API backs the whole platform: personal access tokens are generated in the app, runs can be triggered and variables overridden from CI, and results are deliverable over API.](https://testrigor.com/command-line/)

**Trade-offs against Testim:**
- [Writes code: partial — It generates test automation, not application source: AI turns a documented test case or a high-level sentence into plain-English steps you then edit, so the artefact is a test script rather than code.](https://testrigor.com/)
- [Debugs and fixes: partial — Its AI validates a deployed branch against the written specification and posts the issues it found onto the pull request, so it diagnoses failures but the vendor describes no step where it lands the fix itself.](https://testrigor.com/autonomous-branch-validation/)
- [How it meters: partial — The vendor describes the shape but not the rate: a company licence with unlimited users and unlimited test cases, charged for execution infrastructure rather than per seat or per test, with no figure published anywhere.](https://testrigor.com/faq/)

### 6. Testsigma

Agentic test automation that generates, runs, heals and diagnoses tests for web, mobile, API and Salesforce apps.

**Where it improves on Testim:**
- [Open-source runtime: partial — The vendor says the open source platform carries the core features but needs your own infrastructure, and the documented self hosted route still runs through an Enterprise on premise install.](https://testsigma.com/docs/getting-started/introduction-cloud/)
- [API access: yes — A documented REST API triggers plan runs and manages projects, cases, steps and data, authenticated with a bearer API key.](https://testsigma.com/docs/v2/api/overview/)
- [Admin controls: yes — Role based access limits what each user may do, with separate review management and execution controls layered on top of project roles.](https://testsigma.com/docs/collaboration/users-roles/)

**Trade-offs against Testim:**
- [Writes code: partial — It writes test automation from a prompt or a requirement, not application source code, so the authoring it does is confined to test assets.](https://testsigma.com/ai-agents)
- [Debugs and fixes: partial — The Analyzer explains a failed step and suggests fixes and the Healer repairs locators, but the diagnosis covers tests rather than the application code under test.](https://testsigma.com/docs/v2/qi-home/ai-agents/)
- [Runs autonomously: partial — Agents plan, generate, execute and maintain tests on their own, but the vendor states this runs with human oversight rather than unattended.](https://testsigma.com/ai-agents)
