About Testsigma
Testsigma is a brand-new, all-in-one method to test automation that unites the fragmented test stack. It comes with everything you need to automate tests for web apps, mobile apps, and APIs right now, with no complicated setup or integration required. Freshworks, IEE, American Physiological Association, and HP are just a handful of the industry-leading companies who are currently using the platform.
Rukmangada Kandyala, founder and CEO of Testsigma, said, “Today’s test stack has made test automation more about writing and maintaining scripts than about taking quality software to market as quickly as possible. What we’re trying to do at Testsigma is not just simplify test automation to speed up the testing, but also make it a sustainable, scalable process in which the tools don’t require ongoing maintenance, freeing up the teams to focus on value delivery instead of building and maintaining scripts and frameworks.”
The test automation platform was created to help modern software development teams test and deploy products fast, consistently, and at scale. This is a long-standing difficulty for modern engineers, which explains the increasing attention towards Testsigma. Furthermore, Software delivery is now faster than ever before, thanks to an increased focus on automation and DevOps.

It is an incredibly comprehensive, easy-to-use test automation platform that caters to every testing requirement of an organization,” said Abhinav Chaturvedi, partner at Accel.
