AutoCodeRover, an autonomous AI agent platform for software development, is a technology spin-off from the National University of Singapore funded by Sonar, which is a world leader in code quality and code security solutions. This innovative technology was developed by Professor Abhik Roychoudhury along with his team from the NUS School of Computing (NUS Computing).
The acquisition highlights the real-world impact of NUS's research with the innovative platform boosting Sonar's AI agent-based code development, innovation in software engineering, and agentic AI. The exciting partnership will also create new R&D-related jobs in Singapore.
The incorporation of AutoCodeRover into Sonar's ecosystem illustrates a great leap in software development, a big step toward developers becoming better in their work and working with more ease and speed. AI solutions have become a part and parcel of our lives today; hence, NUS keeps progressive in delivering innovative technologies that transform industries and improve lives.
“At Sonar, we are committed to helping developers build better, faster by embracing new technologies and tools, like agentic AI. The work done by Professor Roychoudhury and the whole AutoCodeRover team is fundamentally redefining what it means to be a software engineer," said Tariq Shaukat, CEO of Sonar.
"With AutoCodeRover, we'll enable millions of developers and enterprises to accelerate development, improve code reviews, lower development costs, and free up developer time so they can focus more on creating and building. We're excited to be bringing this to life through an expansion of our operations in Singapore, and continued collaboration with NUS and the Trustworthy and Secure Software research group led by Professor Roychoudhury."
