Leapwork announces a continuous assurance platform for software quality

in Copenhagen – Leapwork announces the launch of the Leapwork Continuous Validation Platform, a new, fully functional offering that helps enterprises ship software quickly and trust every release. The Leapwork Platform is an agent, application agnostic, deterministic design that integrates automated testing, performance testing, and AI-native quality orchestration across the entire software development lifecycle. The platform serves the full range of software integrated with agent engineering, from teams already working at the speed of AI to those complex, controlled environments.

According to a recent Leapwork survey, 88% of software development professionals said AI is very important to their organization and 65% said they are currently using or exploring the use of AI in one or more testing tasks. Meanwhile, Quality Assurance and validation increases from 25-35% of the software budget to 35-40% in the AI ​​era. AI has become a board-level mandate and productivity gains are expected. Release cycles are pressing as cloud vendor development and systems become more deeply integrated. As agent engineering evolves, the problem shifts from creation, coding, and implementation to better planning and ongoing validation, with trust as table stakes to measuring these systems.

Continuous Leapwork to Validate the Platform

The Leapwork Platform covers the full software quality lifecycle: automation, performance testing and AI quality tuning. It is application agnostic across all business environments: AI, web, desktop, mobile, legacy mainframe, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Dynamics 365, Workday, Citrix and custom applications, whether on-premises, in the cloud or both. Determined by design: comprehensive audit procedures, logical thinking combined with the governance controls required by businesses. Leapwork embodies the phrase “AI Your Way™,” in that it supports the import of Playwright, Selenium and GitHub source code, can work with agents, and integrate native automation as needed. In customers’ live environments, the platform has delivered up to 75% faster automated test implementation, a 50-70% reduction in test maintenance effort and up to a 90% reduction in inefficiencies reaching production.

The Leapwork Platform consists of three separate but interconnected products:

Product #1: Leapwork Studio

Leapwork Studio is an automated test engine with no visual code at the core of the platform. It’s designed for custom execution across legacy, desktop, web, mobile and managed environments. Business leaders across industries and verticals have relied on Leapwork Studio as a foundation of quality for over a decade. Leapwork Studio now includes a technical preview of a complete suite of AI Automation Blocks that bring productive AI directly into experimental workflows. These capabilities make test creation, data management and failure diagnosis faster and more accessible to teams of all skill levels. AI Automation Blocks include:

• AI Confirm– Compare AI-generated responses against expected results to ensure accuracy. It is purpose-built to validate AI applications such as Microsoft Copilot and Salesforce Einstein, ensuring that output is consistent and reliable before it reaches end users.
• AI Vision Confirm– Improves UI authentication with AI-enabled text and data recognition. It adds greater precision to the visual inspection workflow without requiring manual pixel-level inspection.
• AI Generate– Creates realistic, diverse data sets that simulate real-world situations. It removes the bottleneck of finding or performing manual test data, enabling extensive installation out of the box.
• AI transformation– Handles complex data manipulations tailored to specific testing needs. It transforms, reorganizes, and enriches data within the test flow, reducing scripting overhead that often slows teams down.
• AI Extract– Systematic data extraction for various inputs, making data management within the test flow faster and with less errors.
• AI Vision Extract– Extracts valuable data from images and screenshots using computer vision, allowing verification of visuals and on-screen information that conventional automation misses.
• AI Action Block– Converts simple language intent into live application action, understanding information, identifying the right UI feature, implementing interactions, and continuously learning from successful runs to make the future faster and smarter.

Product #2: Leapwork Performance

Leapwork Performance delivers load, performance, and testing APIs built for complex business systems. Teams simulate real-world traffic, identify issues early, and ensure system resilience before issues affect customers or operations. Leapwork Performance addresses the fact that many businesses skip load testing under release pressure or rely on disparate tools that don’t fit their automated workflows. Leapwork’s functionality helps businesses verify not only whether systems work, but whether AI-driven systems can operate reliably, respond quickly enough, and scale economically under independent demand. It is generally available today for all platform clients. Its key capabilities include:

• Ask the AI – Leapwork Performance brings performance engineering into the AI ​​era with scalable workload and API testing, conversational analytics with Ask AI, and AI-generated summaries of performance results. Teams can go from raw telemetry to quickly clarifying data, identify bottlenecks, understand regressions, and make release decisions without relying solely on specialized analysis.
• The Killing of the Cloud Native– No infrastructure to manage. Cloud usage rates in the customer segment with zero offer headers.
• Prices Based on VUH: currently available as part of the Leapwork Platform.
• Importing JMeter Script– Customers import existing JMeter test scripts directly. They protect their investment and quickly get advanced business reporting, analytics, and cloud execution.
• CI/CD integration– Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, TeamCity and more. API-first by design, make it writable and ready to go with pass/fail threshold for automated performance gateways.
• Real Time Monitoring– Live dashboards track throughput, latency, errors and resource usage during testing.
• Automatic Baseline Comparison– Automatic comparison and performance benchmarks with configurable alerts and build failure thresholds.

Product #3: Leapwork AI Studio

Leapwork AI Studio is native to AI and designed for agency engineering teams. It extends the Leapwork platform by creating native AI testing, orchestration and validation throughout the software development lifecycle for teams already moving at the speed of AI. It is AI-native, agent-based and self-sustaining, built for agents to move quickly, including those with high management needs. AI Studio puts Leapwork at the cutting edge of where business quality is headed: AI agents that create, plan and validate tests throughout the SDLC, built on the proven foundation that businesses already trust. AI Studio is designed to integrate directly with developers and QA teams already working to install all cross-platforms, repositories, and databases. AI Studio will be available as an exclusive live preview in early May. General availability is slated to launch in June. During the live preview, AI Studio will be free for all customers and users.

Key AI Studio capabilities during live preview include:

• Zero-Input Cloud Browsers– Write and run in the cloud with no local installation required at any location.
• Modern Support for Authentication– It works with all modern authentication methods including Azure Active Directory, GitHub, email based auth and others.
• Record-Edit-Run Workflow– Users can record interactions with applications, edit the resulting test scripts and use them quickly.
• AI-Native Application Testing– Purpose built to test applications built with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Vercel, showing where modern AI development is headed.
• Import the Source Code– Import the source code as a zip file or merge the Git repository directly into the Knowledge Base. Includes existing Selenium and Playwright scripts.
• Import Case Requirements and Assessment– Import requirements documentation and test cases are manually located in the Knowledge Base.
• Intelligent Knowledge Base -Examine imported codes, requirements and test cases with an AI-powered interface. Ask anything and get visual representations of the app under test.
• AI-Based Test Programs– Use the Knowledge Base to generate test programs with test case plans based on imported source code and requirements.
