ULS Consulting Co., Ltd. and Autify Co., Ltd. have signed a partnership agreement to promote the standardization of the AI-driven “software development lifecycle.” This agreement combines “Devin,” an autonomous AI engineer that ULS Consulting is promoting in Japan, with Autify’s AI testing agent, “Autify Nexus,” to create an end-to-end development environment where AI is driven from development to testing. Through this partnership, the two companies will promote the transformation of quality assurance processes for AI-driven development in enterprise companies.
The rapid evolution of generative AI and coding agents is bringing about a major turning point in software development. Cases where implementation work that previously took several months can now be shortened to a few days or even weeks through the use of AI are increasing, dramatically improving the productivity of the development process.
On the other hand, the accelerated speed of development brings new challenges. As the volume and speed of code generated by AI increases, relying on traditional manual testing and quality verification will become a bottleneck in the entire release cycle, leading to quality risks and release delays. In particular, in projects to rebuild large-scale or mission-critical systems, there is an urgent need to review quality assurance processes from the perspectives of risk management and governance.

This partnership will address these challenges by building a “multi-agent” quality assurance system that combines the different characteristics of the AI from each company, thereby achieving both the promotion of AI-driven development and quality assurance.
Prior to this announcement, the two companies established the “AI-Driven Development Consortium” as founding members and have been working together ever since. This partnership is aligned with the consortium’s objective of “contributing to strengthening the competitiveness of Japanese companies and creating innovation through education and knowledge sharing about AI-Driven Development, a new development style premised on generative AI.” Going forward, the consortium will support the practical implementation and establishment of AI-Driven Development in the rebuilding of core systems and large-scale development projects for enterprise companies across a wide range of industries. By establishing an AI-driven software development lifecycle, the two companies aim to create an environment in which companies can sustainably deliver high-quality software, even in the Japanese market, where the shortage of IT personnel is becoming increasingly serious.
