SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 14, 2025--

Appvance, the leader in generative AI for software quality, today announced the launch of AI ASSERT, a groundbreaking new capability within its Web Designer module. With AI ASSERT, testers can validate any visual, motion, or text-based outcome on screen simply by describing it in natural language.

Whether the requirement is “the door opens,” “the heart is beating,” or “the product image rotates 360 degrees,” AI ASSERT automatically verifies the outcome against images, screen recordings, or live UI elements—without manual scripting.

“For over 30 years traditional assertions in UI testing have always been rigid and limited to static text or element presence,” said Kevin Surace, CEO of Appvance. “With AI ASSERT, we’ve taken a leap forward. Testers can now validate rich, dynamic experiences—from animations to medical visualizations to 3D models—just by telling the AI what to check. This transforms how teams validate user experience and functionality. And we have made it so easy to use that virtually anyone can learn it in 5 minutes.”

AI ASSERT builds on Appvance’s patented AI Script Generation and Digital Twin technologies, which already deliver up to 100X productivity improvements in test creation and coverage. With this release, Appvance IQ becomes the first platform capable of validating not only workflows and data but also complex visual experiences at scale.

“User experience is the brand,” added Surace. “With AI ASSERT, enterprises can now test and validate that their applications don’t just function—they look, feel, and behave exactly as intended.”

The new AI ASSERT feature is available immediately in Appvance AIQ Web Designer for all customers.

Fighting rages on Thai-Cambodian border despite Trump's ceasefire claim

SURIN, Thailand (AP) — Fighting continued to rage Saturday morning along the border of Thailand and Cambodia, even after U.S. President Donald Trump, acting as a mediator, declared that he had won agreement from both countries for a ceasefire.

Thai officials have said they did not agree to a ceasefire, and Cambodia has not commented on Trump’s claim. Its defense ministry instead said Thai jets carried out airstrikes Saturday morning. Cambodian media reported Trump’s claim without elaborating.

The latest large-scale fighting was set off by a skirmish on Dec. 7 that wounded two Thai soldiers and derailed a ceasefire promoted by Trump that ended five days of earlier combat in July over longstanding territorial disputes.

The July ceasefire was brokered by Malaysia and pushed through by pressure from Trump, who threatened to withhold trade privileges unless Thailand and Cambodia agreed. It was formalized in more detail in October at a regional meeting in Malaysia that Trump attended.

About two dozen people have officially been reported killed in this past week’s fighting, while hundreds of thousands have been displaced on both sides of the border.

The Thai military acknowledges 11 of its troops have been killed, while estimating there have been 165 fatalities among Cambodian soldiers. Cambodia has not announced military casualties, but has said at least 11 civilians have been killed and 76 wounded.

Trump on Friday, after speaking to Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, had announced an agreement to restart the ceasefire.

“They have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim,” Trump said in his Truth Social post.

Trump’s claim came after midnight in Bangkok. Thai Prime Minister Anutin had after his call with Trump said he had explained Thailand’s reasons for fighting and said peace would depend on Cambodia ceasing its attacks first. The Thai foreign ministry later explicitly disputed Trump’s claim that a ceasefire had been reached. Anutin's busy day on Friday including dissolving Parliament so new elections could be held early next year.

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, in comments posted early Saturday morning, also made no mention of a ceasefire.

He said he held phone conversations on Friday night with Trump, and a night earlier with Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, and thanked both “for their continuous efforts to achieve a long-lasting peace between Cambodia and Thailand.”

“Cambodia is ready to cooperate in any way that is needed,' Hun Manet wrote.

Thailand has been carrying out airstrikes on what it says are strictly military targets, while Cambodia has been firing thousands of medium-range BM-21 rockets that have caused havoc but relatively few casualties.

BM-21 rocket launchers can fire up to 40 rockets at a time with a range of 30-40 kilometers (19-25 miles). These rockets cannot be precisely targeted and have landed largely in areas from where most people have already been evacuated.

However, the Thai army announced Saturday that BM-21 rockets had hit a civilian area in Sisaket province, seriously injuring two civilians who had heard warning sirens and had been running toward a bunker for safety.
