Functionize’s Agentic Automation Manifesto
Principles for a Smarter, Autonomous Future
Seven years ago, we established the original Functionize Manifesto to guide our journey into the future of test automation. It served as an accurate reflection of the challenges and opportunities we saw, fundamentally shaping how we brought AI Innovations to the world of QA Testing. However, as AI, automation, and business needs continue to evolve, so too must our principles
Today, we’re excited to introduce this updated Manifesto as a vision for a smarter, autonomous future that aligns with where the world is heading and how we’re moving forward to meet it.
