AI testing tools are everywhere now but most look identical, how do you actually tell them apart?

Most tools in the AI testing space are doing one of two things: generating scripts through natural language input, which is still Selenium or Appium underneath, or running automated crawlers doing random path exploration.

Neither is genuinely agentic in any meaningful sense.

The evaluation question that matters is whether the tool understands what it's verifying or is just automating actions blindly. The marketing has converged to the point where everything sounds equivalent.
