MindTree Consulting Standardizes On Agitar Software As Unit Testing Technology
BANGALORE, India and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 7, 2007 – Agitar Software, the leader in enterprise unit testing, and MindTree Consulting, an international IT and R&D services company focused on providing high quality business-enabling solutions to customers, today announced that MindTree Consulting will standardize on Agitar technology for all its Java development projects in India.
MindTree Consulting will employ Agitar technology to help bolster developer productivity, achieve better time-to-market, and improve software quality. Agitar’s automation technology accelerates developer unit testing, an approach where development teams test their software code as they write it.
“MindTree sets itself apart by combining extreme agility in our development processes with unmatched quality. We’re able to do this because we consistently leverage software best practices such as unit testing,” said Vishweshwar Hegde, Vice President and head of quality at MindTree Consulting.
“Agitar’s unique technology makes unit testing a fast, highly effective process for Java developers,” Hegde added. “And we’re particularly excited by AgitarOne’s powerful JUnit generation capabilities. Most of our clients have large business-critical Java applications, ranging from green-field applications to large legacy code bases. With AgitarOne, we can generate a thorough safety net of JUnit tests, which helps us build, extend, and enhance Java code with even greater reliability and speed than before. We see a significant positive impact on developer testing productivity and effectiveness through the use of Agitar’s solutions.
Agitar’s flagship product, AgitarOne, helps developers discover and eliminate defects early in the software lifecycle, enables better software design, and simplifies integration and QA, increasing the predictability of software development and lowering costs.
"Building quality into software by unit testing early in the development process, rather than testing bugs out later in the cycle, helps development organizations bring applications to market faster and significantly enhances developer productivity,“ said Jerry Rudisin, CEO of Agitar Software. “MindTree Consulting has built its reputation with a commitment to quality that aims to continuously exceed client expectations. I am delighted that MindTree will use Agitar's software to achieve a competitive advantage based on quality and agility."
