To develop Automated testing Platform, Antithesis Upraises $47M Funding
A first-of-its-kind continuous reliability platform that autonomously searches for bugs in software, Antithesis today closed a $47 million seed round round from prominent investing titans including Amplify Partners, Tamarack Global, First In Ventures and angel investors including Howard Lerman, the founder of Yext and Roam.
Emerged from stealth today, Antithesis was established by the team behind FoundationDB, the distributed database platform, which Apple acquired gently in 2015. Next to the Apple acquisition, the FoundationDB team isolated to chase other Big Tech company jobs, but eventually arrived at the same conclusion that even classy organizations lacked the software testing tools they needed to be more resourceful & capable.
The product of Antithesis continuously examines the latest version of software under the development for bugs inside a separate-from-production, simulated environment (complete with virtual hardware, service and networking components), reproducing & generating debugging information for bugs it finds. This kind of approach gets rid of the need for developers to write their own tests manually, which is considered typically as a time-consuming & burdened process for developers.
Antithesis operates software under an array of conditions & predefined properties to report any unintentional & unexpected behavior. Antithesis makes a copy of the system state & explores possible outcomes from that point & identifies the paths that create abnormal logs, when it notices interesting behavior.
According to the sources, Wilson, Co-Founder & CEO of Antithesis says, “So, five years ago, a number of us got back together to build Antithesis. We took the rigorous testing approach of FoundationDB, matured it, and, after years of operating in stealth, made it the only commercially available system of its kind for general software testing.”
Wilson further adds, “A group of existing investors investing, and they were very excited by our progress and came to us with a proposal to invest more on friendly terms. We jumped at the opportunity to keep working with people we trusted and to avoid a big fundraising road show with its attendant distractions.”
