Diffblue Announces Citi as a Strategic Investor
Leader in helping world’s leading financial services companies automate routine tasks to improve customer experience and increase developer productivity
OXFORD, United Kingdom, Dec. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Diffblue, creators of the world’s first fully autonomous AI-for-code software, today announced the closing of a strategic investment from Citi Institutional Strategic Investments. Diffblue’s solution, Diffblue Cover fully automates the writing of Java unit test code, which allows customers to ship higher quality software faster, with lower risk. Citi is a commercial partner of Diffblue.
“We’re very pleased to have the backing of Citi,” said Mathew Lodge, CEO of Diffblue. “The Citi team is solving some big software challenges and they are among the most sophisticated and forward looking of the major banks in their approach to using AI.”
Sandeep Arora, Head of Digital Client Channels and Emerging Capabilities for Citi, said, “Consistent with Citi’s strategy to invest in emerging technologies, we are excited to become a strategic investor in Diffblue.”
Lodge pointed out that one of Diffblue’s major advantages – and unique value proposition – is that its product can work fully autonomously, writing complete test programs at large scale. While Diffblue can write tens of thousands of lines of correct test code an hour, tools based on LLMs can only operate at the speed of the developer checking and correcting the code they suggest.
