Autify

Autify Inc. develops an AI platform covering the software testing lifecycle, allowing engineering and QA teams to create, execute and maintain automated tests. Its original product, Autify NoCode (formerly Autify for Web and Autify for Mobile), is a no-code web application in which users build test scenarios by interacting with an application as an end user would, without programming or automation skills. The platform runs cross-browser and cross-device tests in parallel, supports visual regression testing, email testing, JavaScript steps, step groups, environment variables, Shadow DOM elements, and integrates with CircleCI, Jenkins, Webhook, TestRail, Slack and GitHub.

The product line has expanded to include Autify Aximo, an autonomous AI testing agent that uses natural language and visual recognition to generate and run end-to-end tests across web, mobile and desktop applications without scripts or selectors; Autify Genesis, an AI test-design product that turns product requirement documents and source code into structured test cases, testing viewpoints and automated test code (for example in Gherkin format); Autify Nexus; and Autify Mobile. Use cases cited include regression, smoke, functional and visual testing. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and SOC 2 Type 2 attestation.

The company states a mission of enhancing people's creativity through technology by delegating repetitive work to AI. It operates from a U.S. office at 1390 Market St, Suite 200, San Francisco and a Japan office in Higashi Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and is led by co-founder and CEO Ryo Chikazawa.

Founding story

Autify was founded in 2016 in San Francisco. The team joined the Alchemist Accelerator under the name Beehive to address a need in software testing, and after interviewing more than 70 prospects, graduated from the accelerator and launched Autify NoCode, an AI-powered no-code test automation product. According to one third-party company profile, the founding engineering team was the first Japanese team to graduate from Alchemist Accelerator.

Business model

Autify sells its testing platform to companies as a subscription software product, with free trials, demo requests and a published pricing page, and a sales-led motion for enterprise offerings such as Aximo ("Contact sales"). The Aximo interface shows a credit-based consumption model, where test sessions consume credits that vary by AI model selected, and includes a free tier.

Traction

Autify reported adoption by over 200 companies in 2020, and a third-party profile states more than 300 companies began using the service since its October 2019 release. Customers cite outcomes such as a 95% reduction in test authoring time (GA technologies), 50% less time on weekly regression testing (Demae-Can), 83 man-hours saved monthly (Talent Palette) and over 110 man-hours saved monthly (KOSÉ). Internally, Autify reported reducing test case creation time by 55% using Autify Genesis.

Latest developments

In June 2024 Autify closed a $13 million Series B led by Globis Capital Partners and LG Technology Ventures and released a beta of Autify Genesis, an autonomous AI agent for software quality assurance, while stating plans to add code-based test automation support and expand into Korea in collaboration with LG CNS. Its current site presents an expanded portfolio including Autify Aximo, Autify Genesis, Autify Nexus and Autify Mobile, and lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications.
