HappyPath, a New York-based startup that is specialised in automated software testing, announced it has secured $4 million in fresh funding.
The company is using the funds to address “a critical need for more effective software testing,” the firm said in a statement, as it officially launched its new AI-powered software testing automation platform, which the company had been developing for months.
“The new platform will help the technology sector reimagine their approach to testing,” HappyPath boldly declared.
The $4 million capital injection comes from various investors, but the firm did not disclose their identities or the amount of capital owners allocating funds.
Discussing the fresh investment and the new platform launch, William Dulude, the chief executive officer of HappyPath, stressed that software testing has become an “impediment” in product development as applications grow increasingly complex.
“Traditional testing methods are expensive, time-consuming, and limited in scope — often forcing companies to choose between thorough testing and rapid innovation,” he pointed out, claiming that “our new platform allows to do both.”
Dulude went on to explain that “our mission is to break down the barriers that have long made efficient and effective software testing a bottleneck in the development and implementation processes.
“Traditional testing methods often force companies to choose between thorough testing and rapid innovation.”

With regards to the artificial intelligence capabilities of the new platform, he said that “AI enables us to predict potential issues, generate more comprehensive test scenarios and adapt to complex system changes with unprecedented speed and accuracy.”
Dulude said its startup’s AI-powered solution enables teams to create test suites, generate reports and produce testing artifacts with ease.
Moreover, it makes testing accessible to a broader range of team members, including non-technical personnel, he continued.
Dulude’s colleague, co-founder and chief operating officer Noah Borts, added to that the new platform “represents a paradigm shift in software testing.”
He claimed that “our approach has the potential to significantly reduce time-to-market for new products and deployments while simultaneously improving software quality.”
Founded only last year, this is HappyPath’s first software testing platform. The company is headquartered in New York City.
Dulude said that “when I was first approached [in 2023], I was immediately intrigued, having faced challenges with inadequate testing and a lack of understanding of requirements throughout my career. The more time I spent with the team on the product and AI agents in general, the more I knew I had to be a part of this full time – eventually joining as CEO.”
He added that the last 10 months have been an incredible whirlwind, and one of my most fulfilling and exciting adventures.”
