Virtusa Corporation has announced that the IT Service Management Forum UK (ITSMF UK) has awarded it the Service Innovation of the Year award at its 2014 Industry Awards. The forum awarded the company this accolade for the Virtusa Test Automation Framework (VTAF), a robust testing solution for Quality Assurance and automation.
“It is an honour to be awarded the Service Innovation of the Year award by such a prestigious forum. Innovation is in the DNA of Virtusa and VTAF is a great example of innovation being unleashed to solve a perennial IT challenge for our clients. Having recognized that test automation is often plagued with the same challenges as software development, we created VTAF to improve the process for our clients. It is something we are very proud of – so for the ITSMF UK to recognize it is a great achievement,” said Sameet Gupte, Senior Vice-President & Managing Director, Europe, Virtusa.
The Service Innovation of the Year award was presented to the organization offering the most novel product or service offering that has been developed over the past year. Finalists were assessed on the level of ingenuity and inventiveness in their offering, and the originality of the solution. The Virtusa Test Automation Framework (VTAF) is a testing framework that can be used by non-technical QA engineers; it uses simple English to develop tool-agnostic test scripts, increase test coverage and greatly accelerate test script development. The VTAF Auto 4GL tool automates the process of script generation and eliminates the technical and idiosyncratic element of developing test scripts.
The ITSM Industry Awards offer a great opportunity to highlight the achievements of IT service management individuals and teams whose skills, commitment and imagination have marked them out for special recognition. The finalists were selected by a team of independent judges, with the winners announced at the Awards Dinner during Conference on the 10th November in London.
