Some people think AI will take jobs away from people. We disagree.
Our mission is to provide the technology that allows us, humans, to focus on creative work that only we can do. By delegating unproductive work to AI (machines), we can increase society’s productivity as a whole.

Roadmap
Test automation is still in its infancy, and there are countless ways to improve productivity in the software development process. o expand Autifys capabilities and product lineup, our long-term roadmap is divided into these three phases.
-
Phase1Phase1Increase automation coverageFirst, we will provide a product that can automate a greater proportion of test cases that are currently being tested manually.
-
Phase2Phase2Increase overall test coverageCurrently, test coverage varies from person to person. We will provide a product that increases the test coverage along with the automation percentage.
-
Phase3Phase3Eliminate test phaseThe test phase is for verifying that all operations work as intended after development. If we can automate tests at the initial stage of development, development can be driven by tests. Once all tests pass, the software can be released without a separate test phase.
