TestSolutions Group (“TestSolutions”), a portfolio company of Patrimonium Private Equity and COI Partners, and a leading provider of software testing services in the German-speaking region, has acquired SPIRIT-TESTING Software & Services GmbH and SPIRIT-ONSIDE Consulting GmbH (“Spirit-Testing”), both based in Munich.
With this strategic acquisition, TestSolutions, headquartered in Frankfurt, strengthens its position in the field of quality assurance for software applications and development.
Spirit-Testing, also a specialist in software testing services with a broad range of capabilities, complements TestSolutions’ offerings, particularly in the areas of Public Sector and MedTech. Spirit-Testing also brings in additional expertise in test automation and over 50 specialists to the group.
The growing market for software testing services is driven by the ongoing digital transformation, migration to the cloud, rising security requirements, and the increasing complexity of software applications. Clients expect local expertise to meet the quality demands of their highly integrated IT and software ecosystems. Merging smaller entities into a powerful and efficient organization is a necessary strategy to meet the growing market demand in a flexible and scalable manner.
Jürgen Volles, founder and former owner of Spirit-Testing, will remain with the company as the operational managing director and will become a co-shareholder of TestSolutions, thus ensuring seamless continuation of business relationships and the further development of the services offered to both, employees and clients.
“The integration of Spirit-Testing into our group is a significant step in advancing our growth strategy and strengthening our market position in the DACH region. The additional expertise of our colleagues from Spirit-Testing enhances our capabilities, and we can offer Spirit-Testing’s clients important services, such as offshore testing. We are excited to have an experienced partner like Jürgen Volles on board, who shares our vision and will work with us to shape the future of software quality assurance,” said Christian Knoop, CEO of TestSolutions.
“The merger with TestSolutions opens up new opportunities for us to further expand our position in agile software quality assurance and offer our clients and partners an even broader range of services. At the same time, we ensure long-term career perspectives for our employees and new career paths. I look forward to our shared future and the exciting projects ahead,” added Jürgen Volles.
TestSolutions now has over 200 employees and further expands its position as a leading provider of software testing services in the DACH region through an active acquisition strategy and organic growth. The acquisition of Spirit-Testing marks another milestone in this journey.
