London, UK and Bangalore, India – 30th August 2011: TestPlant, the developer of robotic test tool product eggPlant, today announced it has partnered with Edista Testing Institute, a full subsidiary of QAI Global based in Florida, Orlando, USA. Under the partnership TestPlant will provide ETI the capability to market, support and build GUI test automation-training programs for ETI’s clients and partners across India and Asia.

eggPlant is the powerful testing tool that is relied on by more than 500 companies in media, entertainment, defense, security, and technology. Through an innovative non-invasive ‘search and compare’ functionality, eggPlant enables organizations to test applications simply, accurately and risk-free. eggPlant can automate screen testing for any screen-based device: PC, smartphone, or tablet.

Under the new partnership, ETI’s subject matter experts and consultants will provide eggPlant training, certification, and support to its clients across India.  TestPlant will provide ETI with the required support, including tailored educational services. The partnership increases customer service, support and training to eggPlant’s growing Indian customer base.

ETI is focused on operational excellence and workforce development, with a specific focus on testing organizations.  The company currently works with 54 clients and has trained over 4,000 professionals across Bangladesh, China, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and the United States.

George Mackintosh, chief executive for TestPlant, said, “We are excited about this new partnership and the increased footprint it brings us in education, training and services to support our growing user base in India.  I am also looking forward to working with the ETI team to share and demonstrate the relevance, speed and power of eggPlant as an automated test tool to India and other Asian markets.”



Pradeep Chennavajhula, CEO of ETI said, “Testing is a critical function and a growing business opportunity for numerous companies and IT service providers in India. While it is necessary, the challenges with automation have been many: price, features, implementation, and even ease of use. Many customers and service providers in the test automation space are in need of a simple, easy to learn, easy to use tool that complements and makes their current testing operations efficient. We see a great strength in eggPlant for ‘black box testing’, especially in mobile and rich internet applications. We are eager to begin work with TestPlant in pioneering the concept of GUI based automation for our clients and partners in India.”
