TestSolutions GmbH takes over business operations of Berlin-based ASQA Software Quality Assurance GmbH

The strategic acquisition adds iGaming expertise to the software testing portfolio and continues the growth strategy.

TestSolutions GmbH is acquiring the business operations of ASQA Software Quality Assurance GmbH ("ASQA") from Berlin in an asset deal. The Frankfurt-based core company of the TestSolutions Group is thus integrating the activities and team of the software testing specialist, which focuses on services such as mobile testing, automation and test management in the iGaming industry.

The TestSolutions Group, parent company of TestSolutions GmbH, is consistently strengthening its market position in the German-speaking region (DACH) with this targeted investment in the expansion of its testing capacities. The integration is part of the Group's growth strategy, which focuses on organic and strategic growth in order to become one of the leading providers of software quality assurance.

Valuable addition to the portfolio

The expertise of ASQA ideally complements the service portfolio of TestSolutions GmbH. The entire group will gain additional expertise from ASQA's experienced team, particularly in the iGaming sector. The complementary customer spectrum of both companies also opens up considerable potential for cross-selling and upselling.

Continuity ensured for customers and employees

Full continuity is guaranteed for ASQA's customers and staff. Business operations will continue seamlessly as the Berlin branch of TestSolutions GmbH. The previous managing director, Enrico Ausborn, will remain responsible for the Berlin location. He will thus ensure the proven corporate culture and seamless support for customers and employees.

The takeover creates a larger, joint pool of experts and specialist profiles. This means greater resource availability and flexibility - a direct advantage for customers with large and complex projects. At the same time, the move opens up new career paths and development prospects for employees at both locations within the growing TestSolutions Group.

"The integration of ASQA's expertise is an important milestone on our way to becoming one of the leading providers of software testing services in the DACH region," says Christian Knoop, Managing Director of TestSolutions GmbH. "We are not only gaining a highly qualified team, but also specific expertise and customers in an important growth market. Together, we can offer our customers, who often have complex requirements, an even more powerful and broader portfolio."

"The transition to the TestSolutions Group is the logical next step for our team," says Enrico Ausborn, Managing Director of ASQA, explaining the decision. "We are contributing our dynamism and expertise and at the same time benefiting from the Group's structure and extended range of services - for example in the area of offshore services and the TestSolutions Academy. For our customers, this step means more stability and clout, and for our team it means exciting new perspectives."
