Our take
In a traditional software development cycle, developers would take months to create and deliver a product. Testing involved writing scripts to test all the different parts of the program, and when the software changed, it usually broke the scripts and triggered a lot of time-consuming manual fixing.
Tricentis has modernized this process, bringing software testing into line with today’s agile development environment where programs are being updated more quickly and require faster testing. Tricentis' automated 'Continuous Testing' platform offers enterprises a streamlined way to ensure their software continues to perform as required in a fast-moving market.
Tricentis' solution is up to 10 times faster than manual testing and with a far lower error rate, leading to cost savings of up to 40%. This has built it a solid customer base of over 2,000 companies including major banks, insurance companies and telcos. Software testing and QA is estimated to be a $34 billion market, so Tricentis has the potential to establish itself as a major asset to any company engaged in software development going forward.
