The Future of Testing Is Here
By Rukmangada Kandyala, Founder & CEO, Testsigma
At Testsigma, our mission has always been clear: to make quality engineering fast and accessible to every team—no matter their technical expertise or coding skills.
We started with a bold idea: make test automation accessible to everyone by letting teams generate and run test cases in plain English. No complex setups, no code — just faster releases and happier teams.
But as software development accelerated, so did the demands on testing. Automation was essential — yet teams needed more. Testing had to keep pace, adapt, and collaborate alongside them.
Today, we’re taking the next leap — beyond automation — into a future shaped by AI-driven, autonomous testing.
The Problem Behind the Problem
Over the past year, I’ve spoken with QA leaders, automation engineers, and manual testers across industries. Their challenges were loud and clear:
- Software development is now AI-driven and faster than ever — and QA has struggled to keep up.
- AI “features” in existing testing tools were surface-level, often stopping at script generation. Using them still required technical frameworks.
- Manual testing remains critical but stuck in spreadsheets and outdated test management tools — with huge scope for speed and efficiency.
The result? QA teams felt reactive, scattered across tools, and always playing catch-up.
We didn’t want to build a better patch. We wanted to build the platform QA teams should have had all along.
Today, I’m proud to announce the biggest evolution in our journey: Testsigma is now a fully Autonomous Testing Platform.
This isn’t automation 2.0. It’s agentic testing — always-on, intelligent, and collaborative.
Meet Atto: Your AI Coworker for QA
At the core of this transformation is Atto.
Atto doesn’t just generate scripts. It’s always on — watching for triggers like pull requests in GitHub or sprint starts in Jira. It understands product changes, decides what to test, runs the right flows, heals flaky tests, and surfaces insights — all while keeping humans in the loop.
Backed by specialized AI agents, Atto co-owns the entire testing lifecycle: from planning and execution to optimization and reporting. Integrated deeply into your pipelines, Atto ensures testing moves at the speed of development.
What makes it powerful is that Atto sees your application like a human would — not from a locator-first like traditional test automation tools would.
Manual and Automation, Unified
Alongside autonomous automation, we’re introducing a reimagined Agentic Test Management System — built for manual testing teams to work as fast and autonomously as their automation peers.
Also powered by Atto, Test Management automatically detects sprint starts in Jira and mobilizes AI agents without manual effort.
Here’s what it brings:
- AI-generated test plans and cases from user stories, designs, and live applications
- Agentic in-browser execution
- Detailed bug reports generated automatically, with steps, screenshots, and logs — giving developers the context they need to fix issues faster
Why This Matters
This is about eliminating friction — the kind that slows testing and releases down.
By putting AI agents in every tester’s hands, software testing becomes faster, smarter, and more collaborative — without sacrificing quality.
Testers now spend less time on setup, execution, and maintenance — and more time on strategy, domain expertise, and helping engineering teams ship with confidence.
Because great testers don’t just find bugs — they enable better software, faster.
What’s Next
This platform unlocks a new chapter — where humans and machine collaborate seamlessly through agentic testing.
This is only the beginning. And we can’t wait to see how QA teams everywhere will shape the future with it.
Thank you to our community for your belief, feedback, and constant push to make this industry better.
