Summary:
A Bulgarian company working in the IT field offers an open source test case management system (TCMS) targeting other companies with quality assurance (QA) and testing departments. The proposed solution is built using open standards and technologies which avoids vendor lock-in and provides the ability to fully modify the product if desired. The company is looking for commercial agreements with technical assistance with partners wishing to replace their proprietary test management systems.
Description:
A test management system is used during software or hardware testing and quality assurance to collect information about what and when has been tested. This information allows technical stakeholders to make a go/no-go decision before a release.
The major issues with existing products are:
- not able to export stored information, aka vendor lock-in
- not able to integrate with on-premises and some 3rd party systems
- not able to extend the product according to customer needs
- not able to influence or participate in product development
- vendors favor big organizations and disregard smaller customers
- slow release cycle from vendors which has negative impact on security of testing infrastructure.
A Bulgarian software company established in 2009, offers specialized TCMS product which is built with open standards and technologies using a collaborative development model.
The IT company works collaboratively with its customers, partners and the general open source public to improve the product. This allows organizations to directly influence product development with their technical contributions.
The company seeks collaborations with customers to deploy its technology through commercial agreement with technical assistance.
The company has reference customers in Bulgaria, Slovenia, North Macedonia, UK and the USA. Several well-known open source projects located in Portugal, France and the UK are also using the proposed product.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company is seeking private sector partners who wish to implement the provided technology inside their testing and QA departments. The Bulgarian company will assist and collaborate in the implementation of their technology in line with the partner's needs.
