2.1 History
AutomatedQA offers software products and services for development and quality assurance projects
worldwide. They create innovative, award-winning and affordable products for the entire software
development lifecycle including TestComplete for test automation and AQtime, a sophisticated
performance and memory profiler. AutomatedQA has an impressive list of customers ranging from huge
teams in the world's largest organizations to progressive one-developer shops. AutomatedQA was
founded in 1999 with headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.
AutomatedQA’s guiding principle is to be wholly focused on providing affordable and feature-rich
developer tools and quality assurance technologies, and on providing users with fast and accurate
product support each and every day.
What does affordable and feature-rich mean? It means bang for the buck. It means that their solutions
tend to cost a fraction of their competitor's prices and offer more features. A good example is their
automated testing tool, TestComplete. Some of their competitors charge separately for different test
types like GUI testing, unit testing and load testing. TestComplete includes all supported testing types in
one product with more features, for considerably less. It’s this combination of affordability and features
that led Joel Spolsky, of joelonsoftware.com to write, “AutomatedQA's TestComplete is a great product
and just as capable as the market leader at less than one-tenth the price. Why would anybody pay $6000
per seat for test automation?”. -- Joel Spolsky
As a side note, AutomatedQA first customer ever in 1999, was no other that Falafel Software's QA
Master, Mr. Eric Holton.
2.2 Product Offerings
