TestBooster is among the finalists of the Vale do Pinhão 2025 Pitch Contest, which will choose the most innovative startup in Brazil. This moment is a key opportunity to showcase how artificial intelligence can transform the way software testing is performed, bringing more speed, reliability, and scalability to the process.
The first phase of the contest took place on June 18th at the Vale do Pinhão innovation hub in Curitiba. A total of 24 startups were selected and split into two pitching rounds. Each had 3 minutes to present their pitch to a panel of expert judges. The event was filled with learning, meaningful connections, and a strong spirit of innovation.
The grand finale is set to happen on one of the city’s most iconic stages: Tork n’Roll, known as the largest rock bar in Latin America. But this goes beyond a competition, it’s a strategic gathering that brings together startups and investors, fostering business opportunities, authentic networking, and a cheering crowd for the solutions shaping the future.
For TestBooster, this is a unique chance to spotlight its platform. The solution enables automated tests using natural language, reducing code dependency, accelerating workflows, and increasing test coverage. As a result, it ensures higher software quality with fewer bugs, a crucial advantage in an increasingly digital world.
In a time of smart cities and growing integration between people and technology, ensuring apps run smoothly is essential to quality of life. Traditional testing methods, based on fragile and constantly rewritten code, can’t keep up with the pace of updates. TestBooster was built to tackle this challenge, ensuring the proper functioning of the innovations that power daily urban life.
