● Business offer — Testing & software quality

The AI agent for testing & software quality: generate the tests, make your releases reliable

Writing the tests, reproducing a bug, hunting a regression before going to production takes up a considerable share of the team's time — essential work that is rarely valued. Your AI agent absorbs that repetitive work: test generation, coverage analysis, regression detection. Hosted in France — on local inference or an isolated resource — your source code never leaves your environment. The developer keeps the lead.

The payment module has almost no tests. Generate a suite for the checkout service and tell me what is not covered.
Checkout service analysed. Current coverage: 34%. I have generated 18 unit tests (basket calculation, discounts, VAT) and 4 end-to-end tests (the full funnel). 3 uncovered paths remain risky: partial payment failure, provider timeout, double form submission.
Suite ready to review and run in CI — you approve before the merge.

The last deployment broke something in production. Can you help me isolate the regression?
Regression located. Comparing the last two releases, the error appears after the commit that changes the shipping cost calculation (rounding changed from 2 to 0 decimals). Reproduction confirmed by a targeted test: a €49.99 basket → shipping charged at €0 instead of €4.90.
I am preparing the regression test and a note for the ticket — for your approval.

✦ In brief

In a development team, a Blue Lemon Agent agent automates the software quality work — generating unit and end-to-end tests, coverage analysis, reproducing bugs, catching regressions — and integrates with your continuous integration pipeline. It runs on local inference or is hosted in France: your source code and your intellectual property are never exposed to a foreign service, architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity. The time saved on tests is reinvested in features and reliability. Live within a few weeks.

The context

Why AI matters to technical teams — and why they hesitate

Pressure on release deadlines keeps rising, but quality stays non-negotiable: a regression in production is expensive. Tests, meanwhile, are often the first thing sacrificed for lack of time — and the code involved is the heart of the company's intellectual property.

! The issue

The team is caught between accelerating release cycles and accumulating test debt (insufficient coverage, bugs that come back, regressions discovered in production). Yet most consumer AI assistants amount to entrusting the whole source code, the architecture and the application secrets to a third party, often hosted outside Europe and subject to the Cloud Act.

Our answer

AI is only of interest to a technical team if it is sovereign and confidential by design. Local inference or an isolated resource hosted in France, systematic human oversight, decisions reserved to the developer: the time saved on tests is never paid for in exposed code. The aim is not to replace the engineer, but to give them back time for what matters — features and reliability.

The decisive point

Confidentiality of the source code: sovereignty & intellectual property

Your code is your most valuable asset. Here is how the architecture of our agents protects it, repository by repository.

Local inference

The agent can run on a machine belonging to the team: no line of code leaves the network, nothing passes through a public cloud.

Hosting in France

Otherwise, a dedicated and isolated resource, hosted in France under French law — your code: processing and access within the European Union targeted by the architecture.

Reduced extraterritorial exposure

Architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity for source code: our architecture stays out of the American hyperscalers' reach, even when hosted in Europe.

The intellectual property stays with you

Your code trains no third-party model, is neither pooled nor reused: it remains your exclusive property.

One isolated resource per project

No pooling of repositories: an environment strictly dedicated to your team and your code.

AI Act: governed deployment

An agent strictly in support; no automatic merge; traceability and human oversight from end to end.

What depends on the architecture chosen These points are not general guarantees: they are settled deployment by deployment, in the quotation.

  • The applicable location is that of the architecture set out in the quotation and verified before commissioning.
  • Local execution is announced only for the configuration explicitly described and accepted in the quotation.
  • The applicable isolation depends on the deployment mode set out in the quotation; no dedicated isolation is presumed.
  • The events logged, their content, their retention period and who may access them are defined for the deployment chosen.
For the most sensitive codebases, the agent integrates behind your VPN and your existing access controls. A single architecture is designed to answer both the GDPR and extraterritorial exposure. Designed for deployment in line with the GDPR and the AI Act, after the processing, roles and context-specific risks have been assessed.
Demonstration

See the agent at work

4 real situations, taken from those that come up most often. Pick one: the exchange unfolds as it would in your organisation.

A scripted demonstration. These exchanges show how the agent behaves — its sources, its refusals, what it leaves to your teams. Nothing is sent from this page, no model is queried here, and the matters named are fictional. That is precisely what we promise your data.
The behaviours shown here — monitoring, automation rules, routing and reminders — are configured with you during deployment, from your tools, your rules and your thresholds.
The architecture points named in these exchanges — location, local execution, isolation, encryption, role-based access, logging — are not a guarantee attached to the demonstration: they are those of the architecture set out in your quotation, and verified before commissioning.

Four flags this morning, and none concerns a failing test.
· Forty-one tests would pass even if the function under test always returned the same value. They check nothing.
· Seven flaky tests were rerun 312 times this quarter until they passed.
· Your coverage shows 87%. Three modules carrying payments are at 12%.
· Thirty-four code changes touched no test. Behaviour changed, nothing checks it. morning-watch_4-flags.pdf41 tests that check nothing
⛓ Source · 1,240 tests, run log, coverage by module, branch history
Tests that would pass whatever happened?
Forty-one, and they have always been green — which is what makes them invisible.
What I record: 41 tests have no assertion on the result of what they call. They check that no error was raised, and nothing else.
How I verified it rather than assumed it: I mentally replaced each function's return with a constant value. All 41 tests still pass. It is a mechanical check, not a judgement of style.
What that produces: they count in coverage, they count in the number of tests, and they give the feeling that the function is tested. A team seeing "covered" does not rewrite the test.
What I do: I mark them "no result assertion", and take them out of the coverage figure I publish. Your real coverage then goes from 87% to 79%.
And I do not stop at the marking: for 29 of the 41, the missing assertion is obvious from the function called — an expected return, a length, a status — and I have written it; the other twelve carry a question, because the expected result is written nowhere.
Why I do not delete them: a test with no assertion still checks that the code runs — that is little, it is not nothing, and deleting them would lower a figure without improving anything. Twenty-nine reviews, and the real coverage goes back up for good. 41-tests_87-to-79.pdfThey pass even with a constant value
⛓ Source · 1,240 tests, check by substituting the return value
How did you spot all that? And who do you tell?
I look at what you have opened to me: tests and their assertions, the run log including reruns, coverage by module, and code changes set against test changes.
Routing follows what can be fixed: a test with no assertion goes to whoever wrote it if identifiable, otherwise to the team; a test rerun until it passes to the team, with the rerun count — never to a person; a poorly covered critical module to whoever sets priorities; a change with no test flagged on the branch, before merging.
With a chase: before merging on a change with no test, monthly otherwise. Then a monthly summary: by module and type of weakness, never by developer.

What this gives you this morning: a true coverage figure — 79% instead of an 87% inflated by 41 assertion-free tests —, seven flaky tests identified after 312 reruns, three payment modules at 12% raised to whoever sets priorities, and 34 behaviour changes that nothing checked any more, flagged on the branch before merging.
What that is worth in production: a figure you can decide on, and the test-writing time given back to features — across 1,240 tests, a module's suite arrives prepared, edge cases included, and it is left to you to review. Your repositories do not leave the team: access by role, logged, withdrawn on a word, local inference or an isolated resource hosted in France, and your code trains no third-party model.
What stays with you is a choice, not a reservation: I write tests from the specification and never from current behaviour, because a test written on existing code turns a bug into a requirement. Give me the expected behaviour of the three payment modules — and the full suite is ready to review the same day.
✎ Framework · no test written from current behaviour, no reruns
Local inference · no data outside the EU

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers

Can AI really write useful tests?
Yes, to a large extent. An AI agent reads your code, generates unit and end-to-end tests, identifies the uncovered paths and reproduces the bugs. The developer moves from tedious writing to review and approval, much faster and of higher value. The proposed tests are always reviewed before the merge.
Does my source code stay confidential?
Yes. Your code is your intellectual property: our agents run locally on your machines or are hosted in France, with the deployment objective of processing and access operated within the European Union and an architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity. Your code trains no third-party model and is never pooled with other clients, unlike most American assistants.
Can the agent approve or merge code automatically?
No, and that is deliberate. The agent proposes tests, fixes and analyses; no merge and no deployment is automated. The developer always keeps the final decision, in line with the AI Act and with the principle “the agent assists, the human decides”.
Does the agent integrate with our continuous integration pipeline?
Yes. The agent connects to your existing repository and CI/CD pipeline (GitLab, GitHub, Jenkins, and so on) and runs the generated tests in your own environment. We adapt the integration to your stack, without making you change tools.
Do we have to change our tools or our language?
No. The agent adapts to your existing languages, test frameworks and conventions. It complements your current pipeline rather than replacing it; we calibrate the agent on your codebase during the design phase.
Do you have to be a large team to equip yourself?
No. The offer suits an independent developer just as well as a product team with several squads.
How long does it take to deploy an agent?
A few weeks as a rule, after a free 15-minute audit that identifies the use case with the best return, then a phase of design, integration with your CI and testing before going live and training your teams.
