Automated code creation will play a major role in the future of software development. A spin-out from the world-leading AI research group at Oxford, our automated code writing capability has far-reaching potential and will eventually transform how software is written. Initially, Diffblue’s technology is being deployed to save developer time and ensure robustness in one of the most tedious and time-consuming areas of software development: writing unit tests.

Diffblue's product stands out from code suggestion tools in that it works completely autonomously, using reinforcement learning to write fully formed tests that are guaranteed to compile, run and find bugs.
