2021 is almost over!
And, we thought to take a moment to reflect on the year and where we are headed!
At Testsigma, we engaged with industry experts, conversed with our customers and learnt that it was more important to be able to continue and provide to the community, now more than ever.
Testsigma has built a great portfolio for itself with brands like Freshworks, APA, HPE, Sage who are our customers. Having a global audience and seeing their strong interest in our product, we decided to go open-source to be of service to an even larger audience.
So, we bring you Testsigma now free for everyone, no budget constraints, with absolutely no strings attached!
Great support, features and now a bigger community. You will be among the first to get notified when we go live!
