DevAssure, an dev-tools startup focused on autonomous software testing, has secured a pre-seed funding round led by Eximius Ventures.
The investment will be used to grow DevAssure’s new AI-driven platform, designed to transform the testing process by converting design files and live code into fully automated test suites, “with no scripting, no delays, and no need for hand-offs,” as the firm claimed.
Some of the funds will also be used to expand the company’s presence in both the U.S. and India, DevAssure wrote in a statement. The firms did not disclose how much capital has been secured.
Launched in 2024 by engineering veterans Badri Varadarajan, Divya Manohar, and Santhosh Selladurai, former architects of Ally.io’s release engineering stack before the firm was bought by Microsoft, DevAssure claims to eliminate the bottlenecks traditionally associated with software testing.
The platform uses a network of AI agents that automatically generate, execute, and continuously adjust tests based on evolving design and code.
This autonomous approach allows DevAssure’s tests to “heal” themselves as products evolve, without the need for complex, hand-coded scripts or heavyweight frameworks.
“Software quality should be a by-product of great engineering.”
– Divya Manohar
“In the age of AI, software quality shouldn’t be a bottleneck, it should be a byproduct of great engineering,” stressed Divya Manohar, co-founder and the current chief executive of DevAssure.
“We built DevAssure to reimagine testing, not as a separate phase, but as an intelligent, invisible layer that evolves with your code, your designs, and your team.”
The platform’s developer-first approach aims to seamlessly integrate into the development workflow.
Early rollouts at mid-market fintech and SaaS companies have already shown significant improvements. Test-creation time has been reduced from days to hours, while maintenance efforts have dropped by more than 80%.
“This shift from manual, script-heavy testing to an autonomous, always-on orchestration layer directly integrated into the developer’s IDE and CI/CD pipeline is revolutionary,” added Preeti N. Sampat, a partner at Eximius Ventures.
“DevAssure collapses the traditional trade-off between speed and certainty, empowering developers with friction-free quality testing.”
The new funding will help DevAssure expand its AI agent framework and integrate with additional IDEs and CI/CD pipelines, further improving its platform’s versatility.
The company also plans to grow its teams in both India and the US to support increasing demand and customer success.
