QA Mentor, Inc., the global leading software quality assurance and testing services provider, announced the acquisition of Abid Consulting (www.abidconsulting.com), a privately held software development company specializing in building software quality assurance and testing applications, headquartered in Toulouse, France and representative office in Paris. Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed by company officials. Along with the acquisition, QA Mentor, Inc. will receive ownership rights for the Test Management Platform which will be integrated into QA Mentor’s service offerings.

Founded in 2010 and based in New York, QA Mentor, Inc. has built a reputation for serving Fortune 500 clients in 9 different industries. QA Mentor has uniquely positioned itself in the market by providing subscription based and customizable QA testing services for all businesses by following their own proprietary testing methodologies. With 28 distinct quality assurance testing services, 37 different quality assurance testing types and expertise in more than 50 different testing automation tools and solutions, more than any other software testing company in the market, QA Mentor proudly boasts of having a unique combination of 113 offshore and onshore resources who work around the clock.

“We are very excited about this strategic acquisition,” said Founder and CEO of QA Mentor, Inc. Ruslan Desyatnikov. “We have being doing our homework and due diligence for the last 6 months. This acquisition will provide us with ability to offer a test management solution to our current and future clients as part of our QA Audit and Process Improvement Services. Many QA organizations still do not have ability to manage requirements, test cases, execution results, defects, risks and enhancements effectively as they are using old fashioned methods such as Excel and MS word documents or emails. We will offer a comprehensive Test Management Platform which can fit absolutely any budget and improve quality and collaboration not only for the QA Department but the entire IT Organization. Right now the product is going through transformations and improvements and will provide clients a very attractive price point and the ability to purchase subscription-based test management in the cloud or perpetual licenses. We have formed a new business entity, Occygen, LLC, a US based corporation specifically for designing and developing quality assurance automation products which will help QA Mentor offer its own software products through our specialized QA services. We have plans to build another much needed and very interesting product for beta release at the end of the year “.

“We are very happy to be part of such a visionary company led by Ruslan Desyatnikov”, said Bassem Abid Founder and CEO of Abid Consulting. “Nobody knows the QA market and customers’ demand better than Ruslan. This acquisition will allow us rapidly implement what the market needs and provide new, innovative QA solutions that do not currently exist in the industry”.
