Qualiti builds an AI-managed test automation solution designed to streamline the software quality assurance process. The platform leverages artificial intelligence to autonomously create, maintain, execute, and triage tests, significantly minimizing the need for direct human intervention. This approach allows development teams to accelerate their testing cycles and ensure software reliability without extensive manual effort.
The company was co-founded in 2021 by Jeff Handy, who serves as COO, and Peter West. Their entrepreneurial journey includes previously establishing Seva Development in 2016, a firm specializing in QA outsourcing and consulting. This prior experience in the software testing landscape provided them with insights into the inefficiencies of traditional quality assurance, leading to the development of an AI-driven approach at Qualiti.
Qualiti's product is utilized by organizations seeking to enhance their software development lifecycle through advanced automation. The company's vision centers on empowering testing teams by offloading repetitive tasks to AI, thereby enabling human talent to concentrate on more strategic and creative aspects of quality engineering. Their goal is to foster a future where software testing is both efficient and intelligent.

Qualiti is a generative AI-powered platform for test automation in software development, automating the creation, execution, maintenance, and triaging of tests without human input.[1][2][3] It serves software engineering teams in technology and development sectors, solving the labor-intensive problem of manual testing by enabling setup in 15 minutes and handling all QA workloads hands-off, potentially replacing up to 30% of engineering budgets.[2][3][4] With $14.82M raised across seed rounds, including a $6.5M seed in 2023 and $2.7M in February 2024, Qualiti shows strong growth momentum, including 340% month-over-month customer increases and recent strategic investment from Crosslink Capital.[1][2][3][5]
Founded in 2021 in Lehi, Utah, by industry veterans Peter West (CEO) and Jeff Handy (COO), Qualiti emerged from the need to eliminate human effort in software testing.[1][2][3] West and Handy leveraged their expertise to build a truly autonomous AI solution, distinguishing it from partial AI tools. Early traction came rapidly, with the company securing seed funding and announcing a $6.5M round in 2023 to fuel expansion amid explosive customer growth.[2][3] A pivotal moment arrived with Crosslink Capital's investment and the 2024 appointment of Tim Stewart—former Sr. Director at Qualtrics—as CTO, bolstering technical leadership.[1][4]
Qualiti rides the generative AI wave transforming DevOps, where manual testing bottlenecks slow development amid rising software complexity.[2][3] Its timing aligns with AI's shift from assistive tools to full autonomy, capitalizing on market forces like engineer shortages and demands for faster release cycles in cloud-native environments.[1][2] By enabling instant feedback loops, it influences the ecosystem, accelerating software delivery for startups and enterprises while reducing costs—potentially reshaping QA as AI supplants 30% of engineering spend.[2][3]
Qualiti is primed to dominate AI-driven QA with its unmatched hands-off model, expanding sales and engineering post-funding while integrating deeper into CI/CD pipelines.[1][2][5] Trends like multimodal AI and agentic systems will amplify its capabilities, enabling broader test coverage across apps and devices. Its influence could evolve from niche disruptor to industry standard, redefining software development efficiency as AI fully owns testing—echoing its origins in making engineers "never need to test again."[3]
