QualiTest, the world’s second largest pure play software testing company, acquires the UK’s TCL Group,
expanding its global footprint and offering “Rightshore” testing – onshore or offshore, as needed

The TCL acquisition solidifies QualiTest’s leadership position in outsourced software testing and Quality Assurance,
grants it access to the UK market, a leading offshore testing facility in India and telecom testing expertise

26 October 2012, London - QualiTest Group, a global leader in Quality Assurance and Software Testing Services,
announced the acquisition of TCL, a global Software Testing firm, strengthening its position as the world’s second
largest pure play testing services provider, adding a strong UK customer base and offshore testing abilities in
Bangalore, India.

QualiTest Group employs over 1300 software testing professionals and provide a variety of software testing
services to a broad portfolio of clients, including global Fortune 500 companies.

TCL, based in the UK, an independent Software Testing Consultancy that employs over 130 Test Professionals,
started at the beginning of 2000, with offices in the UK in London, Bristol and Exeter; in Zurich, Switzerland; in
Cambridge, Massachusetts in the US; and in Bangalore, India.

The acquisition will expand QualiTest’s testing service business in the UK and allow it to offer both onshore and
offshore testing, according to individual customer needs. Known for its strong customer base and telecom
expertise, TCL adds its telecom expertise and software testing training capabilities to QualiTest. QualiTest will now
deliver managed testing services through local teams and offshore test facilities in Israel and India, reaching new
cost efficiencies, global markets and a 24 hour time zone coverage. With the ability to support onshore, near shore,
on-site and offshore testing, QualiTest will now offer its customers the “right” shore for their testing services
needs.

The decision to join forces was prompted by market demand for increased innovation in the managed testing
services arena. Both the long-standing collaboration between the founders of both organizations and the great
cultural alignment between the two companies provided a strong platform of trust and respect upon which the
deal was ultimately built.

Ayal Zylberman, QualiTest’s President, commented on the acquisition: “QualiTest is already the second largest pure
play software testing organization in the world and we wanted to make it a truly global organization to service our
clients around the world. I passionately believe that joining forces with TCL significantly extends our market
proposition and brings a strong cultural alignment. Having TCL on board shall allow QualiTest to better utilize its
innovative solutions and introduce them to new markets."

Stewart Noakes, TCL’s Co-founder and Chairman, added, "TCL’s enduring vision is to become a world wide, world
class center for software testing. After several years of close collaboration with Ayal and his team at QualiTest we
believe joining forces will significantly accelerate that journey and deliver the market what it is asking for in a truly
global pure play testing company." After the acquisition, Mr. Noakes will continue with QualiTest as CEO of the UK
and India divisions.
