Acquisition extends CA’s DevOps portfolio,
enables automated testing of software for faster development and
time to market
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced it has acquired Grid
Tools Ltd. (“Grid-Tools”), a leading provider of enterprise test
data management, automated test design and optimization software
solutions. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The acquisition of privately-held Grid-Tools will enable CA
Technologies to expand its DevOps portfolio with an enhanced focus
on quality acceleration. Time consuming, manual testing and data
management have prevented enterprises from realizing the true
potential of agile development and continuous delivery (CD).
Grid-Tools’ solutions allow organizations to significantly
accelerate their quality lifecycle by providing greater test
coverage, faster test creation and repeatable test execution for
software assets, while considerably reducing the time and resources
required to bring products to market.
“The global application economy requires our customers to
deliver higher quality applications faster than ever before. Legacy
testing tools and reliance on manual testing are not suited for the
speed and number of changes necessary to achieve continuous
delivery,” said Jacob Lamm, executive vice president, Strategy and
Corporate Development, CA Technologies. “Adding Grid-Tools’ leading
test solutions, development and test teams can accelerate the
entire lifecycle while freeing up valuable resources to perform
more value added activities.”
To address DevOps challenges, CA Technologies offers
comprehensive CD solutions that allow organizations to:
- Adopt a model based approach to
generating test cases and a test data management toolset, providing
greater coverage that results in delivering a better user
experience;
- Achieve true CD by testing every code
change automatically across the entire promotion path; and
- Free up development and quality
assurance resources previously engaged in test data and test case
creation to perform more productive tasks, like new code
development.
“Our customers have seen dramatic reductions in release test
cycles and time required to fix defects while increasing quality of
their applications,” said Huw Price, co-founder of Grid-Tools. “The
combination of CA Technologies and Grid-Tools provides enterprises
with a strong option to bring testing to the next level by removing
bottlenecks in their software development lifecycle.”
According to the TechRadarTM: Continuous Software Delivery, Q2
2015 by Forrester Research, “As automated API-based testing, driven
by the CD pipeline, becomes more prevalent, test data management
will become essential. We expect the tools in this space to gain
popularity as they disaggregate their functionality: in data
generation tools, data obfuscation and masking tools and test data
life-cycle management.”
Founded in 2004, Grid-Tools has offices in Oxford, U.K. and New
York.
