Tricentis and Tasktop Launch OEM Partnership for Software Lifecycle Integration


Will Enable Development Teams to Lower Business Failure Risk and Accelerate Product Development

SAN MATEO, CA, and VANCOUVER, BC, July 9, 2015Tricentis, a global leader in enterprise software testing that accelerates business innovation, and Tasktop, the leader in Software Lifecycle Integration (SLI) and creator of the Eclipse Mylyn open source tool, today announced the expansion of their relationship with an OEM partnership.

Tricentis will offer an OEM solution called Tosca Connect, which is powered by Tasktop Sync, Tasktop’s leading SLI solution and allows customers to connect automated testing with existing development processes to lower business risk and accelerate product development. Tosca Connect removes barriers to test automation adoption and enables standardization of Tosca Testsuite as a seamlessly integrated component of the software development tool stack. Customers can extend their benefits of test automation by also automating the collaboration between test and other disciplines such as requirements management and defect management. This removes costly and error-prone manual processes while enabling the short test sprints required by Agile teams.

“We are excited to build upon our strong relationship with Tasktop,” said Sandeep Johri, Tricentis CEO. “With our OEM product, testers using Tosca will be able to gain control of application quality across the entire Agile software lifecycle."

Last year, the two companies announced that Tasktop had integrated Tasktop Sync, which provides fully automated, enterprise-grade synchronization among the tools used by software development and delivery teams, with Tricentis Tosca Testsuite, the leading application functional testing software and most advanced automation and risk management tools.

“Tricentis is a market leader,” said Dave West, chief product officer, Tasktop. “This latest agreement tightens our relationship and makes it easy for customers to assemble a best-of-breed development tool stack standardized on Tosca.”

Tasktop Sync integrates Tosca with Rally, Atlassian JIRA, HP QC, HP ALM, Jama, IBM RTC, Microsoft TFS, IBM DOORS, IBM DOORS Next Gen/Rational Requirements Composer, ServiceNow®, VersionOne and others, resulting in stronger collaboration across software development and delivery teams.
