UiPath‘s agent–based testing reduces IT budget for software testing by 25%
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 26 March 2025: UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a leading enterprise automation and AI software company, today announced the launch of its UiPath Test Cloud, which provides an innovative methodology for software testing based on advanced AI technologies to enhance team productivity throughout the testing process, achieve exceptional efficiency and significant cost savings. The Test Cloud transforms the concept of AI agent–based testing into reality, allowing quality assurance teams to leverage AI agents such as UiPath Autopilot™, and other test agents developed with the Agent Builder solution, to contribute effectively to all stages of the testing process. This integration enables organizations to accelerate product rollouts, enhance production consistency, and deliver high–quality software that meets customer expectations.
Testing software manually or using traditional methods is an expensive, slow and resource–intensive process. One study revealed that quality assurance and testing account for up to 25% of IT departments‘ spending. The Test Cloud represents a radical shift towards an AI–powered model, based on a physical partnership between test teams and AI agents, with the aim of enhancing each phase of the process. This solution responds to the technical and practical challenges facing team members in an ever more complex software development environment.
UiPath‘s Test Cloud offers an AI agent–based testing methodology to assist quality, engineering and testing teams across organizations with the following solutions: Autopilot solution for test teams: A ready–to–use AI–based agent that leverages a wide range of built–in and customizable AI technologies to accelerate the testing process cycle, including the design, automation, and management phases of agent–based testing.
Agent Builder: A tool that allows organizations to develop custom AI agents to meet the unique criteria for their tests, giving teams the flexibility to tailor tests to their specific requirements. An IDC study commissioned by UiPath showed that organizations that relied on the Test Cloud improved test efficiency by 36 percent, doubled the pace of new feature rollouts, reduced crashes by 50 percent, and repair time by 93 percent. For example, Cisco reduced the effort on manual testing by nearly 50% with Autopilot, allowing test teams to focus on challenges that require human creativity, strategic thinking, and decision-making. Gerd Wishar, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Testing Products at UiPath, said: “Agent–based testing marks a new phase for businesses, allowing them to develop one of the most time– and resource-consuming aspects, which still relies heavily on manual processes.
Through Test Cloud, test teams interact directly with AI agents who support
