Qualitest, a quality engineering company, has acquired ZenQ, a Hyderabad-based software testing company, with about 700 employees. Both the companies have refused to talk about the size of the deal.
“Besides extending Qualitest’s geographical footprint in India, the acquisition will be benefited by ZenQ’s facilities in Hyderabad, and their capabilities in Phygital, Analytics, Blockchain and DevOps,” a statement said.
