Morningstar: Functionize Launches Studio

Published

Jul 16, 2026

Key takeaways
  • Studio builds, runs, and repairs tests autonomously as the app changes, acting as an independent check for code built at agent speed.
  • Works across enterprise platforms including Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, and SAP, testing everything from bespoke apps to packaged software.
  • Honeywell, an early design partner, runs millions of agents on Functionize with well over 50,000 tests executing through its pipelines.

Functionize launched Studio on July 16, an agentic quality platform that builds, runs, and repairs tests autonomously. The company describes Studio as 'broken code's greatest adversary,' deploying adversarial agents with the opposing objective to coding agents, equal in capability and guided by human oversight.

Studio closes the gap between how fast code is written and how fast it can be verified. With coding agents making software dramatically faster and cheaper to build than any quality process can verify, Studio was built to end the imbalance: a coding agent's equal, independent of the code it reviews, that works under the mandate of proving quality, safety, and assurance of each release.

How it works

Studio's agents read what the application does by watching it run, not by reading the code. The models, data layer, and execution engine are Functionize's own, built for testing and trained on petabytes of real enterprise application data. Execution is deterministic: the same test gives the same result every time, so teams can distinguish real regressions from noise.

Testing starts with describing what needs checking in plain language. Studio builds the coverage, heals it as the application changes, and returns a verdict on every release. It tests everything an enterprise runs on, from bespoke applications built in house to platforms like Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, and SAP.

Enterprise scale

Honeywell, an early design partner, runs millions of agents on Functionize with well over 50,000 tests executing through its pipelines. Verification at that scale is only possible through the use of agents, not manual or traditional automated testing.

Studio is available for Individual (Free, Pro, and Max), Team (Growth and Scale), and Enterprise plans. While Functionize was already running enterprise-scale testing for Fortune 500 companies, Studio introduces a chat-first interface giving teams direct control over the agents doing the work and full visibility into how quality is being proven.

FAQs

Do I need to write test scripts for Studio?

No. Describe what needs checking in plain language, and Studio builds the tests. It reads the application by watching it run, not by reading code.

What platforms does Studio support?

Studio tests Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, SAP, and bespoke enterprise applications. It runs tests across browsers in parallel.
