Code Intelligence Spark automates software testing

Code Intelligence announced Spark, an AI test agent that autonomously identifies bugs in unknown code without human interaction. It’s the first AI Agent to find a real-world vulnerability by automatically generating and running a test for a widely used open-source software. Spark is designed to fully automate software testing, from identifying bugs early in the development process to their actual remediation, drastically lowering the entry barrier to advanced security testing technologies like white-box fuzz testing. … More → The post Code Intelligence Spark automates software testing appeared first on Help Net Security.
