Testsigma Aims To Make Test Automation Simple And Scalable

"Today's test stack has made test automation more about writing and maintaining scripts than about taking quality software to market as quickly as possible. What we're trying to do at Testsigma is not just simplify test automation to speed up the testing, but also make it a sustainable, scalable process in which the tools don't require ongoing maintenance, freeing up the teams to focus on value delivery instead of building and maintaining scripts and frameworks", Kandyala, Founder and CEO of Testsigma said.

"Test Automation is a problem faced by every organization, more so these days when release cycles are getting shorter. We are very excited to partner with Testsigma. It is an incredibly comprehensive, easy-to-use test automation platform that caters to every testing requirement of an organization", said Abhinav Chaturvedi, Partner at Accel.
