# Machine Learning (ML) Assertion

## What is ML Assertion?

Autify's Machine Learning technology uses the large amount of training data available in Autify to understand element information and make assertions on any element on the screen. Autify's Machine Learning technology recognizes the elements and enables the user to easily select which elements to assert against.

## How is ML Assertion different from other assertion methods?

With ML Assertion, the methods used to recognize elements on the screen are different. This means that ML Assertion is able to support apps created with a wider variety of app development languages and libraries such as Objective-C, Swift, Flutter, React Native, and so on. ML Assertion also provides an improvement in performance compared to previous assertion methods. (Note: There is no additional work or changes in behavior required to use ML Assertions)

## How to use ML Assertion

It is easy to use!
