About Us
As companies transform into digital businesses there is a raging war to secure the best talent in the software engineering world. There are quite simply not enough developers to write all the code that needs to be written.
Diffblue technology is one of the most powerful use cases for artificial intelligence in the world today. Developers typically spend 25% to 50% of their time writing unit tests and it is not a task most enjoy. Our product Diffblue Cover automatically writes unit tests for Java applications using AI, but working 250 times faster than a human. It never gets bored or makes a mistake and gives developers and their leaders more time to write code that advances the product making them more competitive.
Diffblue spun out of the University of Oxford in 2016 and received the largest AI Series A funding in Europe in 2017. Having just closed our latest round of funding and coming off the back of triple digit growth, we are building out our go-to-market sales & marketing teams.
We promote an environment in which we support and learn from each other. We strongly believe that diversity is important for a modern business, and that when different opinions, backgrounds and life views meet, better results are obtained.
