Gartner Magic Quadrant: Who dictates the pace in AI-driven testing?

The world of software development is undergoing a radical transformation. Release cycles are getting shorter, systems are becoming more complex, and business expectations have never been higher. Quality is no longer a supporting function — it is a competitive advantage.

For the first time Gartner evaluated testing AI-driven software testing tools in therir Magic Quadrant™A report in which the Tricentis achieved a Leader position with the highest “Ability to Execute” rating.

This is not just industry recognition. This is a confirmation that AI-driven testing is no longer a vision, but a working, scalable corporate practice.

What does AI-driven testing mean in practice?

Traditional automation is no longer enough. Modern systems — cloud architectures, microservices, complex integrations — are changing dynamically. Testing also needs to adapt.

The AI-Driven ApproachCost-effectively capable of:

• Reduce resources spent on testingthrough risk-based prioritization, so we spend less time and money on low-risk areas.

• Optimize coverageby minimizing unnecessary tests, thereby reducing unnecessary costs.

• Reduce maintenance costs, less manual intervention is required when updating tests.

• Accelerate market entrywithout compromising quality, so costly delays can be avoided.

• Tricentis' platform manages functional, performance and quality assurance processes in a unified ecosystem, supporting the entire software development lifecycle with AI agents and natural language workflows.

This is no longer a simple test automation. It's quality engineering.

Why is this important for the Hungarian market?

For large domestic companies and financial, telecommunications or industrial players, both system stability and rapid digital innovation are critical. AI-driven testing allows an increase in development speed not to be accompanied by an increase in risk.

In Hungary, the leading integrator of Tricentis solutions is United Consult, which has significant experience in implementation in complex corporate environments.

‍

United Consult introduces not only a tool, but also:

• develops a strategic approach to quality assurance

• provides a customized implementation model

• Supports organizational adaptation

• and helps transition to AI-driven operations as a long-term partner

• Helps optimize testing costs, at the enterprise level

More than technology — a strategic decision

Tricentis builds on more than two decades of innovation and today has one of the most powerful enterprise AI quality platforms on the market. Gartner's recognition confirms that the future is proactive, intelligent, data-driven testing.

The question is no longer whether AI is needed in testing.
It's about who introduces you on time — and with the right professional background.

For domestic companies, this option is now available.

If your goal is faster release, lower business risk, and scalable quality, AI-driven testing is not an option — it's a competitive strategy.
