Top-up Quality Engineering with Zenes

Zenes is an autonomous AI agent that ensures software quality – as a result, among others: AI quality control engineer working for you. Generates test cases by analyzing product requirements documents, writes automated test codes, and automatically maintains test codes.

Autify adopted Zenes for its own QA process, effectively reducing the time spent creating test cases by 55%.

How it’s working:

After users upload a product requirements document in any file format (.html, .pdf, .docx, .md, etc.), Zenes will generate a group of outlined test cases covering the product specifications. Users can then edit these test cases to improve the accuracy of subsequent steps.

After making any changes, Zenes generates automatic test codes, e.g. test case steps in Gherkin format. Users can use the product’s AI-powered generative code completion to edit Gherkin’s output.
