QualityWorks Wins First Prize in U.S. Navy AI Autonomous Testing Challenge

QualityWatcher™ AI Platform Claims $75,000 Award from the U.S. Navy’s PEO MLB AIAT Prize Challenge

LOS ANGELES, CA — QualityWorks Consulting Group announced today that its AI autonomous testing platform, QualityWatcher™, has won First Prize in the U.S. Navy’s Artificial Intelligence Augmented Testing (AIAT) Prize Challenge, administered by the Program Executive Office for Manpower, Logistics and Business Solutions (PEO MLB) in partnership with Palmetto Tech Bridge. The $75,000 award was presented at the Charleston Defense Contractors Association Eastern Defense Summit in Charleston, South Carolina.

The AIAT challenge, organized with the support of Palmetto Tech Bridge — a U.S. Navy initiative that connects the defense community with innovative technology companies — called on innovators nationwide to develop AI-powered solutions capable of autonomous test script generation, eliminating the costly, human-intensive bottlenecks that delay software delivery across the Department of the Navy. QualityWorks was named the First Prize winner among a national field of competitors.

• Capture Agent — Records test steps, screenshots, and workflows from multi-format documents and UI with zero manual scripting.
• Generation Agent — Produces comprehensive, edge-case-inclusive test cases from requirements in minutes, not days.
