The story behind Qnit: From a small QA Unit to Software Testing Experts

In early 2015, Qnit didn’t exist—at least, not in the form it is today. Instead, there was a small but highly dedicated Quality Assurance (QA) team working within PRODYNA. This group of experts was focused on ensuring software quality, so much so that they developed their own in-house test automation tool, Nabucco, tailored to meet their unique needs.

Why the Change?

By establishing Qnit as an independent company, both parties could focus on their strengths:

PRODYNA could double down on its core expertise—software development.
Qnit could emerge as a specialized provider of quality assurance services, with the flexibility and focus needed to become an industry leader in software testing.

This shift wasn’t just about business focus; it was about delivering excellence. As an independent entity, we were able to build a team of QA specialists, who could devote their full attention to developing and implementing industry-leading testing solutions. It was a win-win scenario for both companies and their clients.

Shifting Focus: The Decision to Retire Nabucco

One of the key turning points during our formation was the decision to retire Nabucco, the custom-built test automation tool. While Nabucco had served the team well, the market for test automation tools was rapidly growing, with major players like Ranorex, Tosca, QF-Test, and Selenium setting the pace. Competing with companies that focused solely on tool development wasn’t a priority.

Instead, we shifted our focus toward what we could do best:

Empowering people with cutting-edge education on both open-source and enterprise-level test automation tools.
Advancing test management processes, helping clients streamline testing strategies, and manage their testing lifecycle efficiently.
Creating best practices for Quality Assurance, Test Automation, Test Management, and Test Strategy, ensuring that clients stay ahead of the curve.
Offering consulting services that provided clients with independent advice on optimizing quality assurance. We help organizations find the perfect balance between cost, time-to-market, and risk management.

Our Commitment to Excellence

From a small internal department to an industry-leading company, we are committed to helping businesses achieve software testing excellence. Our goal remains the same as it was at the beginning: to ensure that our clients have the tools, strategies, and expertise needed to deliver high-quality software efficiently, reliably, and cost-effectively.

By focusing on education, consulting, and best practices, we’re able to provide our customers with the insights they need to thrive in an ever-changing software landscape.
