Autify is announcing a $2.5 million seed round led by Global Brain, SalesForce Ventures and Archetype Ventures, raising total capital to over $3 million.

The funding will be used in part to support the company's global and US expansion.

A 2019 graduate of Alchemist Accelerator, Autify addresses the lack of software testing engineers, exacerbated by today's faster release cycle, by allowing anyone to automate testing – no coding required. In addition, by leveraging AI to maintain test scenarios, Autify solves modern maintenance challenges. Since coming out of beta in March 2019, Autify has had 100's of companies request demos – ranging from leading global companies in industries ranging from banking to insurance to automobile manufacturing.

"Software is eating the world, and as DevOps and Agile have become the standard software development methods to deploy updated code on a continuous basis, automating the testing of software has become a 'must have' rather than a 'nice to have,'" said Ravi Belani, Managing Director, Alchemist Accelerator. "This is an incredibly large market, with very quick adoption, and we believe Autify's user-friendly, AI-powered take on software testing is the right solution at the right time to address the world's quickly growing software testing needs."

"With the ever-growing variables of devices and browsers, along with the near constant flow of releases from modern Agile and DevOps development practices, manually making sure your offering functions properly is impossible, yet there is a lack of talented automation engineers, and existing QA methods are high-maintenance and slow," said Ryo Chikazawa, Co-founder and CEO at Autify. "We created Autify to provide an easy and accessible, yet powerful way for companies to make sure their software is functioning correctly – freeing up resources to focus on new features and quality, while giving customers the experience they demand."
