We’ve launched qodo powered by TestGPT and raised $11M. Here’s why

qodo, formerly known as Codium, has launched two new products: qodo IDE Extensions in beta and the rebranded company itself, aiming to reshape the future of software development by focusing on code integrity and developer empowerment. The company is driven by a mission to simplify code integrity, allowing developers to code with confidence amidst the increasing demand for software solutions and the rise of AI-enhanced development tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot. qodo's IDE Extensions, now available for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, facilitate the generation of meaningful tests within the developer's environment, leveraging AI and static-code-analysis to improve code quality. The company plans to expand its offerings beyond IDE extensions to include advanced code integrity features, team collaboration, and enterprise adoption, advocating for spec-driven development as a transformative approach in the software industry. qodo is supported by seed funding from Vine Ventures and TLV Partners, aiming to recruit more team members and further develop its TestGPT model based on OpenAI's foundation models. Ultimately, qodo envisions creating an intelligent software development world where developers can innovate rapidly and confidently, addressing inefficiencies and inequalities in current software development practices.
