Harness is developing a platform for creating AI agents for the “after-code” phase of software development, which includes testing, security checks, verification and deployment - processes which consume nearly 70% of development cycle time. The startup aims to solve the problem of uncontrolled code risks caused by the use of AI for coding. The Harness platform is built on a software development knowledge graph that maps code changes, services, deployments, tests, environments, incidents, policies and costs. The company claims the knowledge graph gives the system a deep understanding of each client's software development processes and architecture.
