UiPath Launches Test Cloud to Bring AI Agents to Software Testing
UiPath , a leading enterprise automation and AI software company, announced the launch of UiPath Test Cloud, a
revolutionary new approach to software testing that uses advanced AI to amplify
tester productivity across the entire testing lifecycle for exceptional
efficiency and cost savings.
Through Test Cloud, agentic testing for
quality assurance teams becomes reality, equipping professionals with AI agents
such as UiPath Autopilot™ and testing agents built with Agent Builder to act as
collaborative partners throughout the testing lifecycle. In augmenting testers
with AI, businesses can enable faster time to market, improve production
stability, and deliver higher-quality software to customers.
Manual testing and test automation with
legacy tools is costly, slow, and resource intensive. In fact, one study found up to 25% of IT spend is dedicated to
quality assurance and testing. Test Cloud represents a shift toward
AI-augmented testing, focusing on collaboration between people and AI agents to
enhance the complete testing process. It is designed to address both technical
and personal challenges faced by testers in an increasingly complex software
development landscape.
UiPath Test Cloud introduces agentic
testing to quality assurance, engineering, and testing teams at any
organization via:
· Autopilot for Testers: an out-of-the-box agent that
harnesses a broad collection of built-in and customizable AI to accelerate the
testing lifecycle, including agentic test design, agentic test automation, and
agentic test management.
· Agent Builder: a toolkit for building custom AI
agents tailored to unique testing needs, giving teams flexibility to create
exactly what they need, when they need it, according to their own
specifications.
According to a study by IDC
commissioned by UiPath, organizations using Test Cloud have improved test
efficiency by 36% and doubled the throughput of delivering new features as well
as reduced outages by 50% and troubleshooting time by 93%. For example, Cisco is cutting its manual testing efforts nearly
in half with Autopilot, freeing up valuable time for its testing teams to focus
on challenges that benefit from human creativity, strategic thinking, and
decision making.
“Agentic testing marks an exciting new
era for companies to advance an area of their business that is still stubbornly
manual and time intensive. With Test Cloud, testing teams engage interactively
with AI agents that act like partners in collaborating, supporting, and working
in tandem with testing professionals around the clock across the entire testing
lifecycle,” said Gerd Weishaar, General Manager and Senior Vice President of
Testing Products at UiPath. “Traditional testing is recognized by CIOs and CTOs
as the biggest bottleneck to delivering new innovations to customers rapidly.
Implementing agentic testing with Test Cloud enables faster time to market and
improves production stability, which increases customer satisfaction and helps
companies grow revenue.”
