UiPath Test Cloud helps enterprises validate speed, identify bottlenecks and eliminate repetitive workflows to drive greater productivity

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a global leader in agentic automation, today announced its recognition as a Leader in the Gartner^® Magic Quadrant™ for AI-Augmented Software Testing Tools. A complimentary copy of this research report is available here.

The addition of AI and agents to traditional software testing tools expands the reach, productivity, and capacity of testers, creating a quality assurance approach featuring AI-powered agents capable of acting as autonomous decision-makers to conduct tests, rather than relying on predetermined scripts. Agents can intelligently interact with an application, learn its behavior, and dynamically adapt testing strategies to identify and address issues, leading to faster, more resilient, and efficient testing and a reduced manual maintenance burden.

UiPath Test Cloud takes those capabilities further, making agentic testing available to quality assurance, engineering, and testing teams at every level throughout the organization, accelerating and scaling testing across every step of the software development cycle. UiPath Autopilot™ for Testers offers an out-of-the-box agent with a broad collection of built-in and customizable AI to accelerate the testing lifecycle, including agentic test design, agentic test automation, and agentic test management. And, for more advanced testing teams, UiPath Agent Builder in Studio is a toolkit for building custom AI agents for unique testing needs, giving teams flexibility to create exactly what they need, when they need it, according to their own specifications.

“We see agentic testing as a business accelerator and the next evolution in QA, where AI-powered agents work alongside humans to independently analyze, generate, execute, and refine tests across the entire lifecycle,” said Gerd Weishaar, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Product Management for Test Cloud. “We’re building on that vision with a large community of users and resources to help create, customize, and deploy AI agents using natural language prompts and integrated toolsets. Our UiPath Test Cloud lets testers accelerate and simplify their work, unlocking productivity at scale.”

According to Gartner, “The market for AI-augmented software testing tools reflects the rapid evolution of technologies for efficient generation, maintenance, tracking, versioning, selection and prioritization of test artifacts; running tests at scale in the cloud; and optimizing the overall test process. These tools are intended to be more than just a tool for authoring and running tests; they are essential for businesses aiming to achieve excellence in software quality, productivity and market responsiveness.”

BRUSSELS/ROME, Oct 9 (Reuters) – The European Commission is set to act against Italy’s so-called “golden power” legislation as part of a push against EU countries hampering bank consolidation in Europe, four sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

Brussels will launch two separate proceedings under single market and merger rules respectively, they said, asking not to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter.

The move underscores the EU executive’s drive for consolidation in the financial services industry, crucial to creating a European capital union to finance the 27-country bloc’s green and digital goals and boost its competitiveness vis-a-vis the United States and China.

It will also be seen as a warning against Germany and Spain, both of which are involved in contested banking mergers.

Rome’s so-called golden powers are aimed at safeguarding the national interest in strategic sectors such as defence and telecommunications. Italy is one of a number of EU countries which have also applied that legislation to the banking sector.

Among several conditions, Italy had told UniCredit to halt activities in Russia by early 2026, to prevent savings collected by Banco BPM from benefiting Moscow’s economy as it continues its war against Ukraine. Rome opted to keep the decree in place despite the collapse of the deal.

Brussels believes that golden powers overlap with the powers of the European Commission and the European Central Bank (ECB), restrict competition and violate the principle of bank independence, one of the sources said.

The EU will order Italy to withdraw the decree that set terms for UniCredit’s failed bid, the sources said, while challenging the overall golden power legislation through a separate proceeding.

The EU Commission plans to send two separate letters to Italy by mid-November, the first source added.

Once the EU has ruled that the conditions imposed on UniCredit are unlawful, the bank will be able to assess whether to seek damages from Italy. The government can however challenge the decision before an EU court.
