Startup QA.tech has raised $1 million in a pre-seed funding round led by VC firm byFounders. The company aims to help developers save time on quality assurance (QA) testing by using an AI-based tool.

QA testing is a necessary but time-consuming aspect of software development. These tests include basic functions such as logging in, creating accounts, and adding items to the shopping cart on a website. They are often performed manually, and companies often hire one QA tester for every three or so developers. Developers themselves often perform these tests, which is considered tedious.

By automating QA testing, we free up time that allows the developer to focus on writing code instead of testing it

Daniel Mauno Pettersson, CEO and co-founder of QA.tech

The AI-based testing tool developed by QA.tech simulates the behavior of a real tester and can identify potential problems on websites. It supports testing of features such as search, shopping cart, cookie banners and login. The tool provides users with information about the prompts used, step-by-step test execution, debug data and recommended actions.

Investors

The company has raised $1 million in a pre-seed funding round led byFounders to further develop the tool. The funds will be used to expand the development team, among other things. Other investors include Mikael Johnsson (co-founder of investment firm Oxx and former partner at Amadeus Capital), Vigor Sörman (founder of Splay), Petter Nyman (former CTO at Sambla) and Vilhelm von Ehrenheim, AI expert at EQT Motherbrain. These investors are also acting as advisors to QA.tech.

The tool is offered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription, and QA.tech already has about twenty customers interested in participating in the company's beta program.
