History
Tricentis was founded in 2007 by Wolfgang Platz and Franz Fuchsberger, extending their previous consulting business into a software company.[2] The same year, it opened an office in Germany. Tricentis opened further offices in Switzerland in 2008, Benelux in 2009, and London and Sydney in 2010. In 2011, the company entered the US markets and opened offices in New Jersey and Los Altos.[3] The company currently recently extended its presence in Asia-Pacific, and has become a global company with over 600 customers.[4] The company is headquartered in Vienna, Austria, and Mountain View, California.
In 2000, Platz developed Tricentis Tosca Explorer, the predecessor to the core component of Tricentis Tosca. By 2006 Tricentis Tosca Commander was developed and launched into the market as the central GUI for the product.[5][6] The product has since been extended to cover risk-based testing, test design, SAP testing, API testing, service virtualization, exploratory testing, load testing, and test data management in addition to GUI testing.[4]
In 2017, Tricentis received $165 million in series B funding from Insight Venture Partners.[7][8][9][10][11]
In 2018, Tricentis merged with QASymphony, provider of qTest test management and test automation platform.[12] Previous acquisitions include Flood.io cloud-based load testing[13] and Q-up test data management.[14]
In 2019, Tricentis acquired IntelliCorp's change impact analysis for SAP product LiveCompare, as well as LiveModel and LiveInterface.[15] Also in 2019, Tricentis acquired Test Project, a community-powered test automation platform.[16]
Services
Tricentis provides international services to several industries including the financial, commerce, insurance, healthcare, telecommunications, logistics and transports, utilities, and software industries.[17]
In addition, it provides training and consulting services in the areas of software quality assurance. These services include programs related to test automation and transformation.[18]
Products
Tricentis' main product is Tricentis Tosca, a continuous testing tool that combines multiple aspects of software testing (test case design, test automation, test data design and generation, and analytics) to test GUIs and APIs from a business perspective.[19] In 2017, Tricentis acquired Flood.io, a cloud-based load testing platform.[20][21][22][23][24]
Awards and recognition
In 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015, Gartner named Tricentis a "Leader" in its Software Test Automation Magic Quadrant report.[25][26][27][28] Additionally, Forrester Research named Tricentis a "Leader" in its two most recent Functional Test Automation Tools wave reports.[29]
