# What is AI ASSERT?

**AI ASSERT** is Appvance's no-code validation capability that lets QA teams validate anything they can describe in natural language — without writing a line of code and without defining locators. Testers verify images, text, layouts, tables, animations, motion graphics and more through simple, human-like assertions.

Traditional UI assertions have always been rigid: they check static text or the presence of an element, and nothing more. AI ASSERT extends validation to rich, dynamic experiences — animations, medical visualizations, 3D models — by letting the tester simply tell the AI what to check.

<div id="bkmrk-in-short%3A-if-you-can" style="background-color:#EAF6FF;border-left:5px solid #2872FA;padding:14px 18px;margin:16px 0;color:#1A1A1A;">**In short:** if you can describe the expected outcome in a sentence, AI ASSERT can verify it — against images, screen recordings, or live UI elements.

</div>### No Code. No Locators. Just Natural Language.

An assertion no longer has to be expressed as a technical condition. The requirement itself becomes the test:
