- Valtes has rolled out early access to T-DASH Pro, an upgraded, premium iteration of its no-code test automation platform.
- Just a day earlier, Valtes broadened its internal AI test-design tool, TestScape, rolling it out for scenario testing as well.
- The company aims to shift software testing away from just execution logs, focusing instead on data that informs release decisions.
On Tuesday, Valtes Holdings’ software testing arm rolled out an early-access release of “T-DASH Pro,” layering in analysis tools, visualizations, and support for parallel execution. The additions expand its no-code test automation line, as Japanese quality-assurance firms sharpen their focus on AI-driven testing. Valtes
Timing here is key. Just a day before, Valtes announced it rolled out scenario-test support for “TestScape,” its in-house AI-driven tool for test design. The company is pushing harder to automate test creation and execution as software teams race through quicker release cycles and handle more AI-generated code. Valtes
T-DASH Pro, the higher-end counterpart to T-DASH, targets users who want code-free test automation. According to Valtes, most development teams remain stuck using automated tests just for verification—often missing the chance to convert findings into actionable evidence for release or quality upgrades.
The latest release brings in dashboard-format analysis reports, lets users run tests on several devices at once, and allows scheduled test executions. AI-driven test creation from Japanese-language prompts is also in the works, but hasn’t rolled out fully yet. Valtes says T-DASH Pro handles scheduled tests on its own, even if continuous integration—or CI, the automated test process for code updates—hasn’t been set up.
The early-access rollout covers web applications for now. Windows, Android, and iOS support are on the roadmap for 2026. Pricing details haven’t been released yet. T-DASH Pro will be available at no extra cost for existing paid and trial users, plus newcomers who apply for a trial, but only for a limited window, the company said.
On Tuesday, Valtes submitted a correction after the first T-DASH Pro disclosure got the service URL’s capitalization wrong. The updated filing swapped “Pro-lp” for “pro-lp” and included a new release with the fix.
The TestScape update targets scenario testing—a process for verifying if users can actually finish business or product tasks. According to Valtes, the feature leverages manuals and specifications, letting AI generate flow diagrams and draft out simple scenarios, before progressing to pattern and test-case creation. The company noted in its internal trials that this approach could trim test-design workloads by roughly 40% versus standard techniques.
Valtes isn’t acting on its own. In February, SHIFT — a bigger player in Japanese software QA — introduced its “AI Test Agent,” claiming it can automate quality assurance based on software specs and, according to a validation study, shrink test execution times by up to 80%. Both moves highlight a shift among Japan’s software testing companies: instead of just pitching cheaper manual work, they’re now touting faster turnarounds, clearer reporting, and less reliance on hard-to-find specialist engineers.

Still, it’s early days for the rollout. T-DASH Pro’s AI test-generation tool isn’t available yet—just a “coming soon” note for now. Mobile and Windows apps? Also not live. Pricing remains up in the air. According to the service page, using AI demands a customer API key, and any AI-related charges depend on what plan the user already has. That leaves both total costs and adoption timelines up in the air. VALTES サービスサイト – バルテス株式会社のソフトウェアテストサービス
Valtes Holdings trades on the TSE Growth market with ticker 4442. Shares finished Tuesday at 414 yen, a gain of 1.72%. The company’s next earnings announcement is slated for May 14, according to Yahoo Finance.
As of December 2025, the company counted 980 employees spread over eight group companies, its release shows. The key issue: Can T-DASH Pro and TestScape actually convert that testing expertise into sustainable software sales? Valtes hasn’t shared any sales targets for these products.
