Latvian software quality engineering specialist TestDevLab has been acquired by Xoriant, a ChrysCapital-owned digital engineering and technology services company headquartered in the United States. The deal brings together TestDevLab’s 14 years of focused testing expertise with Xoriant’s global scale and network of 28 offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Financial terms were not disclosed, but both companies frame the move as a strategic partnership designed to expand reach and deepen capabilities in quality engineering for AI-driven systems.
Strategic Rationale Behind the Deal
For TestDevLab, the acquisition is a route to accelerate its international expansion while maintaining its core focus on software quality. Co-founder and co-CEO Ervins Grīnfelds noted that the decision was made with careful consideration for employees and clients, emphasizing alignment between TestDevLab’s growth ambitions and Xoriant’s appetite to strengthen its QA and testing portfolio. That shared agenda made the transaction a logical progression rather than a disruptive shift in direction.
Consolidation in a Growing QA and Testing Market
The acquisition lands in a year where European software testing and quality assurance continue to attract significant investment and attention. Companies such as UK-based Synthesized, which raised more than €17 million for its AI-native test-infrastructure and data platform, and Germany’s CERPRO, which secured €2 million for AI-enhanced industrial QA workflows, highlight investor interest in the space. While these firms are not based in the Baltics, they underscore a broader pattern of capital and strategic deals flowing into testing, verification, and AI-enabled quality engineering.
From Capital Raises to Strategic Integration
Against this backdrop, TestDevLab’s sale to Xoriant represents a consolidation move rather than a fresh funding round. Instead of raising new capital independently, the Latvian company is being folded into a larger engineering group that is actively assembling deeper expertise across automation, model validation, and safety-critical testing. This places TestDevLab within a wider wave of established QA specialists being integrated into global players that want to harden their capabilities around AI-centric and complex digital systems.
Advancing AI-Driven Quality Engineering
Xoriant positions the deal squarely at the intersection of AI and quality engineering, linking it to the rise of agentic and intelligent systems in enterprise environments. CEO Rohit Kedia said that bringing TestDevLab into the group strengthens Xoriant’s leadership in quality assurance for intelligent systems, particularly in model validation, fairness and bias testing, explainability, and safety evaluations across AI and language models. The company expects to offer clients a more complete stack of AI-for-QE and QE-for-AI services, blending traditional testing rigor with advanced analytics and model-centric evaluation.
TestDevLab’s Capabilities and Global Footprint
Founded in 2011, TestDevLab has grown into a specialist in software quality engineering, working with customers from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 corporations. Its service portfolio covers test automation, performance testing, audio and video quality analysis, security, accessibility, user experience testing, competitive intelligence, and AI-related testing solutions. The company employs more than 500 professionals across Europe, largely in the Baltics and North Macedonia, and its teams test products used by over five billion end users worldwide.
Integration Plan and Leadership Continuity
Following the acquisition, TestDevLab will continue operating under its existing name and brand while becoming part of Xoriant’s broader organization. Co-founders Andrejs Frišfelds and Ervins Grīnfelds will remain in place as co-CEOs, and engineering teams will keep working with their current clients and project groups to preserve continuity. The company expects to accelerate hiring as it taps into Xoriant’s global sales engine and access to new markets, creating more opportunities for staff on both sides of the combined business.
Xoriant’s Ongoing M&A Strategy
The TestDevLab transaction is the latest in a series of acquisitions that Xoriant has executed as it scales internationally and sharpens its offering. In the past three years, the company has bought Salesforce specialist FEXLE Services, observability and infrastructure firm MapleLabs, and consulting and analytics player Thoucentric. Together, these deals and the TestDevLab acquisition reflect a deliberate strategy to assemble a comprehensive digital engineering and AI-driven quality engineering platform with strong domain coverage and geographical reach.
By joining forces, Xoriant and TestDevLab are betting on a future where AI-powered products and complex digital platforms demand more rigorous, specialized, and scalable quality engineering. The acquisition gives Xoriant deeper QA expertise and a stronger European footprint, while offering TestDevLab a path to global expansion without sacrificing its technical identity. In a market where quality assurance now extends to the behavior, fairness, and safety of intelligent systems, the combined company aims to position itself as a key partner for enterprises seeking reliability at scale.
