Tricentis announced the acquisition of Waldo, a SaaS-based, no-code, zero-footprint mobile test automation platform.

Waldo complements and extends Tricentis’ mobile testing offerings with new test automation capabilities, including native, hybrid, and web mobile application testing using virtual devices supporting iOS simulators and Android emulators.

Waldo delivers SaaS-based test automation that simplifies mobile test authoring, management, and execution directly from a browser. As organizations shift left and increase their focus on shipping quality code, Waldo allows them to cost-effectively test every commit through emulation using virtual mobile devices.

“The number and complexity of mobile applications continues to increase with no signs of slowing down,” said Kevin Thompson, Chairman and CEO, Tricentis. “We believe the combination of what Waldo brings from a depth-of-knowledge and technology perspective combined with what Tricentis offers in our breadth-of-test automation expertise will allow us to deliver higher-quality mobile applications at the speed and scale businesses require.”

Along with Tricentis Testim Mobile and Tricentis Tosca Mobile, Waldo adds value to the Tricentis mobile application testing offerings and AI-based test automation platform. Mobile application development teams gain simplicity and speed authoring tests and power and flexibility through execution on a virtual device cloud.

Laurent Sigal, Co-Founder and CTO of Waldo, said: “As a leader in test automation with a comprehensive set of mobile application testing offerings, the company has uniquely positioned itself to support mobile app quality holistically across the software development lifecycle. We see a world of possibilities in how we can leverage our technologies.”
