Yesterday, at Tricentis Accelerate 2014, Tasktop previewed an upcoming release of Sync featuring increased integration of the Tricentis Tosca Testsuite across multiple software delivery disciplines and tools. Tasktop’s Sync platform provides authoring tools for tasks, data, workflow connectivity and integration between multiple Application Lifecycle Management solutions. Its new partner, Tricentis, is known for its software testing solutions to accelerate business innovation. The partnership between Tricentis and Tasktop represents an exciting advancement along the path of broader Agile and DevOps adoption within the software development industry.
The two companies first partnered in February 2014, to provide a combination of Tricentis Tosca Testsuite and Tasktop Sync. The new software offers a means of automated functional testing in Testsuite and a platform for collaborating across the multiple disciplines of software development with Sync. The evolution of software development has revealed a clear problem of the integration of tools across the design of software. The partnership of Tasktop and Tricentis is an example of a method of addressing this issue. Their tools enable collaboration and testing across different components, removing a disconnect that has hampered software development in the past. We think this software integration can help developers using Agile or DevOps methods to continue to deliver thoroughly tested solutions for customers more rapidly, ultimately lowering the risk of business failure.
