SapientAI, creator of AI Test Coder, emerged from stealth today with $5 million in seed funding from 8VC, Correlation Ventures and GTMfund. SapientAI combines the power of generative AI with a code intelligence “co-pilot” to manage and generate test code for developers. Led by CEO/founder Rishi Singh (co-founder of DevOps platform company Harness), AI Test Coder claims to generate precise test code to help developers build products faster and ensure releases are consistent across all platforms.
The “shift left” Agile testing movement aims to bring testing and quality assurance forward to identify and resolve bugs sooner. As a result, developers are now responsible for quality control and balancing speed and quality at once. However, writing test code is time-consuming, prone to human error, and a major roadblock to building better software faster.
AI Test Coder is available for free to developers as an IntelliJ IDE plugin to help them focus on building great applications, not manually writing code. It is the first and only test code generator to combine generative AI and code intelligence to provide software developers with a testing “co-pilot.” Far from only creating code, AI Test Coder ensures that the test code is correct, with no guesswork.
