AI Technology
Reinforcement Learning (Not LLM)
Unlike cloud-based AI tools that use Large Language Models:
- Diffblue uses reinforcement learning AI
- Tests actually compile, run, and validate behavior
- Not "predictions" but verified, executable code
- Customizes to your specific codebase patterns
Training Approach
- Models adapt to your organization's existing codebase
- Learning happens locally, within your environment
- No external data sources compromise intellectual property
Regulatory Compliance
Supported Frameworks
- ✅ GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
- ✅ HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
