Autify is a platform that supercharges developer and
QA teams and optimizes the software quality engineering
process. The company aims to enhance people's creativity through AI
and technology. Since its inception in 2016, the company has gained
a number of global enterprise customers in the B2C and B2B
verticals, including DeNA, NEC, NTT Smart Communication, Yahoo,
ZOZO, and Q4.
With this recent round of funding, Autify plans to expand its
capabilities to support code-based test automation and build a
comprehensive Generative AI-powered quality engineering platform
featuring its newest product, Zenes.
Supercharging Quality Engineering with Zenes
Zenes is an autonomous AI agent for software quality assurance —
in effect, an AI QA engineer working
for you. It generates test cases by analyzing product requirement
documents, writes automated test codes, and maintains the test
codes automatically.
Autify has applied Zenes to its own QA process, successfully
reducing the time spent creating test cases by 55%.
How it works:
After users upload their product requirement document in any
file format (.html, .pdf, .docx, .md, etc.), Zenes will generate a
group of outlined test cases covering the product specs. Users can
then edit these test cases to increase the accuracy of subsequent
steps.
After any edits have been made Zenes then generates automated
test codes, e.g. the test case steps in Gherkin format. Users can
use generative AI-powered code completion within the product to
edit this Gherkin output.

"AI is poised to drastically improve productivity in the
software development process," said Ryo Chikazawa, Autify's
co-founder & CEO. "We believe that AI is not here to replace
humans. It's here to enhance human capability so that we can be
more creative. The software development process and its quality
assurance will be redefined with Generative AI, and we are thrilled
to redesign this process with our AI-powered product suite."
