“Today, new software is released every hour, but testing methods are still stuck in the past. We use autonomous AI agents to test software end-to-end in weeks instead of months, helping companies release faster with fewer bugs and at lower cost,” said BotGauge AI's cofounder and CEO Pramin Pradeep. The company’s other cofounders are Naresh Kumar Rajendran, Vivek Nair, and Sreepad Krishnan Mavila.
“Botgauge AI aims to offer fully managed autonomous quality assurance, where its AI agents automatically identify testing needs, generate and maintain test coverage, and execute tests at scale,” Pradeep added.
