This acquisition increases our ability to serve developers, relieve them of their least-loved tasks, and continue to support them in delivering high quality software, quickly, and at scale. The addition of Ponicode’s test writing and scoring capabilities further enhances this goal. Our goal is to provide the best CI/CD tooling available. Beyond what’s available to address, teams need to know where to focus their test priorities - which part of the codebase is most critical? Our acquisition of Ponicode will allow you to apply the power of AI to identify the highest priority gaps to fill, and in many cases, write your tests for you. We talk a lot about the importance of code coverage for quality production code, but what we’ve heard loud and clear from our customers is that code coverage alone, whether that’s 60%, 80%, or 99% coverage, is only part of the picture for making good decisions. Ponicode’s ethos around improving the lives of developers and getting to production faster aligns perfectly with our mission, and will help CircleCI manage change so software teams can innovate faster. Ponicode caught our attention with their dedicated focus to helping developers handle their least favorite tasks - the toil surrounding writing code - such as authoring tests, commenting code, analyzing code quality, and more.

Today we are pleased to announce that CircleCI has acquired Ponicode, a Paris-based AI engine for analyzing source code, with the goal to help developers produce better code in their local development environment.
