CloudBees has acquired Launchable in a move to ensure it offers the broadest GenAI optimization of any DevSecOps platform.
Launchable brings an AI-augmented approach to QA and immediately, CloudBees will bring the AI co-pilot to slash dev-test iteration and accelerate ship times.
The acquisition is also a homecoming for Launchable co-founders Kohsuke Kawaguchi and Harpreet Singh, who both have a long history with CloudBees, Jenkins, and DevOps. Kawaguchi was the creator and founding developer behind open source Jenkins.
“Bringing CloudBees and Launchable together represents two milestones for the field of software development,” said Anuj Kapur, President and CEO of CloudBees. “First it brings the first AI-augmented Test Intelligence capability to any DevSecOps platform. Second, it marks the return of a true open source visionary to CloudBees to continue the mission-oriented efforts around software-based digital transformation in Enterprises.”
Testing is key in software development workflow
Bringing Launchable’s AI solution onto the CloudBees platform will bring developers:
- Faster Dev-Test Iteration: A machine-learning driven predictive test selection reduces time spent on unnecessary tests and inefficient workflows. Teams know which tests matter, can automatically test upon code-changes, find failures faster and prioritize them, and find failing builds in a fraction of the time.
- Efficient Test Triage and Analysis: AI-augmented testing helps teams effectively manage and analyze test failures, reducing the manual effort involved in identifying and fixing issues, thereby improving overall productivity.
- Enhanced Visibility and Focus: AI-augmented testing improves visibility into test suite performance and test health, ensuring that teams can focus their efforts on fixing critical issues quickly and efficiently.
“At Launchable, we focused on delivering innovative solutions to the pervasive challenges of software development. Namely, AI to QA,” said Launchable co-founder Kohsuke Kawaguchi. “CloudBees is a time-tested and trusted DevSecOps platform that rocks the world, so this is a perfect combination.”
The acquisition of Launchable marks a significant milestone in CloudBees' journey to redefine software delivery through AI-driven innovation. As more enterprises embrace AI to optimize their software development processes, CloudBees remains dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions that drive efficiency, reliability, and agility.
Financial terms of the acquisition are not being disclosed.
