Tricentis, a Mountain View, Calif.-based leader in continuous testing for DevOps, acquired SpecFlow, a Behaviour Driven Development solution for .NET developers around the world.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
Created by TechTalk, a Vienna, Austria-based company that specializes in agile methods, agile development, and agile coaching, SpecFlow is an open-source Behavior-Driven Development framework for .NET. It facilitates collaboration between teams in small and large enterprises, allows users to automate tests written in human-readable language, and helps stakeholders build up a shared understanding of software systems.
With this acquisition, Tricentis adds support for BDD and .NET developers to round out its open source testing platform.
SpecFlow will continue to remain a free, open source offering for the software development and testing communities. SpecFlow+, SpecFlow’s commercial offering, and SpecMap, an Azure DevOps extension for user story mapping, will now be offered for free to meet the needs of scaling BDD across the enterprise – all backed by Tricentis.
SpecFlow is Tricentis’ second acquisition in this market within the past year, with further acquisitions planned in the coming months. In 2019, the company acquired TestProject, the world’s first free, cloud based test automation platform leveraging Selenium and Appium.
Led by Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Wolfgang Platz, Tricentis provides a Continuous Testing platform for DevOps through agile test management and advanced test automation optimized to support over 150+ technologies. Its Global 2000 customer base of 1600+ companies includes global enterprises such as Allianz, ANZ Bank, Cisco, Dolby, Experian, First Data, HSBC, Merck, Office Depot, Samsung, Swiss Re, Starbucks, Telstra, UBS, Vodafone, Whole Foods, and WorldPay.
