Empowering smarter software testing through AI, now with support from Google.

We’re delighted to announce that Scandium Systems Inc. has been selected to join the Google for Startups Accelerator: Africa Class 9, a milestone that validates not just our technology, but the vision driving it.

Out of nearly 1,500 applications across the continent, Scandium is proud to stand among the 15 innovative startups chosen by Google for their bold, AI-driven solutions tackling real-world problems in Africa and beyond.

Accelerating Our Mission: Smarter Testing for Better Software

At Scandium, we’ve always believed software testing shouldn’t be an afterthought, it should be accessible, intelligent, and integral to product quality. That’s why we built:

  • Scandium: our flagship AI-powered no-code test automation platform that enables teams to test Web, Mobile, and API applications without writing a line of code.
  • TestPod: our smart, collaborative test management platform that helps QA teams manage, track, and streamline both manual and automated testing efforts in one place.

This accelerator is not just a badge of recognition, it’s a launchpad. With access to world-class mentors, Google engineers, and deep technical resources including up to $350,000 in Google Cloud credits, we’re poised to scale our impact faster and further.

What This Means for the QA Community

Software teams today face constant pressure to ship fast without breaking things. And QA teams, often under-resourced, carry the weight of ensuring product stability and user trust.

With support from Google, we’re doubling down on building tools that truly empower testers and product teams, tools that turn testing from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.

This means:

  • Advancing our AI test generation models
  • Expanding CI/CD integrations with smarter orchestration
  • Improving TestPod’s intelligent traceability and requirement coverage tools
  • Building more global collaborations and education opportunities, including fellowships and community events

We’re here to make software testing easier, smarter, and radically more efficient. Because in today’s world, quality should scale with innovation.

Why It Matters

This accelerator fuels our long-term mission:

To democratize quality assurance by equipping teams, technical or not, with the tools to deliver better software, faster.

Whether you’re in Lagos or Lisbon, Bangalore or Berlin, we’re building the testing infrastructure for the next generation of software products.
