QESTIT and Synthesized partner to strengthen test automation with compliant, production-like test data

Andreas Demarcsek — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 09:02:28 GMT

Zurich/London, 16th February 2026 – QESTIT, Europe’s specialist for quality assurance and software testing, and Synthesized, a provider of automated test data management and provisioning, today announced a partnership to help organizations accelerate delivery while reducing risk. By enabling teams to use reproducible, production-like and privacy-safe test data across development and testing, the collaboration aims to improve the reliability of test automation and shorten release cycles.

The partnership brings together QESTIT’s quality engineering expertise with Synthesized’s capabilities for generating, masking and subsetting test data, and for integrating test data workflows into modern toolchains and CI/CD pipelines. This addresses common friction points that slow testing down, including manual data creation, unstable data dependencies and the use of sensitive production data in non-production environments.

“Reliable test data is one of the most underestimated success factors in test automation. By partnering with Synthesized, we can help clients industrialize test data provisioning, increase automation stability and meet privacy and auditability requirements at the same time,” says Robert Bonomo, Country Manager Switzerland at QESTIT.

“At Synthesized, we treat test data as a repeatable, governed capability that teams can plug into their delivery processes. Together with QESTIT, we are making it practical for QA and engineering teams to move faster while maintaining compliance,” adds Nicolai Baldin, Chief Executive Officer at Synthesized.

The joint offering spans discovery and assessments, implementation and integration into existing DevOps and QA toolchains, as well as enablement and training. Managed services are available to support ongoing operations and continuous improvement.

QESTIT and CALPANA business consulting partner to deliver risk-based quality assurance and ensure compliance

Andreas Demarcsek — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 16:52:07 GMT

Goerlitz/Linz, December 04th 2025 – QESTIT, Europe's leading specialist in quality assurance and software testing, and CALPANA business consulting, provider of the integrated governance, risk, and compliance platform CRISAM®, have entered into a strategic partnership. Their aim is to connect risk management, control, and testing across the full software lifecycle to achieve measurable improvements in quality, security, and compliance.

By combining the QESTIT methodology and the CRISAM® method and platform, companies can prioritize risks, quantify their impact, manage mitigation measures, and deliver audit-compliant evidence of effectiveness using tests, controls, and metrics. Across the full SDLC, this leads to faster, risk-driven releases, full end-to-end traceability, and a substantial reduction in audit workload.

„Risk-based quality assurance stands or falls with solid evidence. With CRISAM®, we make effectiveness measurable and deliver the proof points business, IT, and audit teams need,” says Martin Bischoff, Head of Cybersecurity at QESTIT. Markus Müller, Managing Director at CALPANA business consulting, adds: “Our platform sets the orchestration framework, QESTIT brings leading QA expertise. This combination enables shorter development cycles, reduced compliance overhead, and robust KPIs to support strategic decisions.”

The project establishes a new benchmark for automated test case execution and evaluation in QA. Leveraging multimodal AI, it automates the execution of test cases and systematically analyses results, enabling faster, more accurate defect detection and delivering more reliable, meaningful test outcomes.

The joint offering spans assessments, implementation, integration with existing toolchains (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, ITSM), managed services, and training programs. It supports compliance with standards like ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, and sector-specific frameworks, with a clear focus on regulated industries such as finance, manufacturing, energy, and the public sector.

QESTIT and University Zittau/Görlitz researchers enhance the AI workflow framework to improve automated quality assurance processes.

Andreas Demarcsek — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 06:30:00 GMT

Görlitz, September 01 2025 – QESTIT and the University Zittau/Görlitz have initiated a joint research and development project to expand the current AI workflow framework with modules for end-to-end automated quality assurance. Over the next weeks, a proof of concept will be developed that firmly integrates the computer-use approach directly into testing workflows. This will automate the execution of test cases, detect defects at an early stage, identify root causes, and provide actionable recommendations for resolution. Combining QESTITS’s industry practice with the applied research methodology will result in robust, evidence-based data to validate efficiency, reliability, and cost advantages, while shaping the next generation of QA standards.

The project centres on analysing existing closed- and open-source “computer use” solutions. Based on these findings, the partners are building an enhanced framework with a JSON interface capable of autonomously handling test cases, input data, and contextual information. In parallel, they are developing an evaluation system that monitors runtime, reliability, and costs in real time, validating results through multimodal models such as screenshot analysis. This evidence-based data will enable QA departments to make well-founded investment and resource allocation decisions.

„This project is about elevating quality assurance. AI-powered testing allows us to detect issues earlier in the development cycle and resolve them faster.“, says Marc Köhler, Head of DACH at QESTIT. Prof. Jörg Lässig from the University Zittau/Görlitz adds: „The initiative brings state-of-the-art scientific methodology directly into quality assurance. Through applied research, we aim to demonstrate how AI models can make testing processes sustainably more efficient.“

By mid-November 2025, QESTIT and researchers of the University Zittau/Görlitz will deliver a proof of concept identifying where and under what conditions AI-powered test automation can effectively complement – or fully replace – conventional testing methods. Insights gained will drive the ongoing enhancement and integration of automated testing frameworks into QESTIT QA workflows. The partnership will also continue beyond this project, with a focus on advancing AI-powered test automation in ways that are both innovative and industry-relevant.
