The report analyzes and identifies the overall performance of vendors offering software testing services, focusing on vendor capabilities in software testing and in reducing the time and costs associated with software testing projects.

“We are honored to be recognized once again by NelsonHall as a leader in software testing services in the Overall market segment,” said Chinthi Weerasinghe, vice president and global head of Business Development in the Independent Validation Services (IVS) practice at VirtusaPolaris. “Our leading smarTEST framework is designed to help our clients lower application development and maintenance costs by ‘developing code, right the first time’ through our Test Driven Development (TDD) methods; our techno-domain experts are focused on driving the business outcome expected; and our innovative tools accelerate test automation enabled quality at speed. This achievement not only demonstrates the value of VirtusaPolaris’ software testing services, but reaffirms our dedication to help our clients deliver exceptional services with a faster time-to-market and lower costs.”

NelsonHall’s IT Services Practice Director, Dominique Raviart, commented: “VirtusaPolaris has two major differentiators in software testing. First, VirtusaPolaris continues to invest in building and developing its accelerators and platforms, such as ERA, Centroid, and Tempo. Second, it has considerably expanded its banking and financial services expertise and artifacts through the Polaris acquisition.”
