About Planit:

Planit is a global leader in Quality Engineering, providing innovative solutions to drive digital transformation and ensure the delivery of high-quality software. With a team of experienced professionals and a strong focus on customer satisfaction, Planit provides businesses with the vision, precision, and independence they need to improve the quality of their software and the way they deliver it.

In our recent release of the Global Quality Index 2025/26, we surveyed more than 200 quality leaders to find out how businesses are adapting their quality processes to deliver faster, smarter and more resilient digital experiences.

What emerged from this research was a clear message: the demand for faster releases and a seamless customer experience is only expected to grow, and more organisations are embracing the fact that quality is no longer the responsibility of just a single testing team.

Most importantly, the rise of AI is changing how quality engineering is conducted, and what was seen as a ‘future consideration’ just 12 months ago has now become a huge part of how software is delivered.

Many organisations have embraced robotic process automation (RPA) with UiPath to increase efficiency, reduce manual effort and free up teams to focus on higher-value work. But there’s one part of the digital lifecycle that still lags behind: testing.

Manual testing is one of the biggest roadblocks to faster, safer delivery. In fact, even with RPA in place, most quality assurance processes remain fragmented and time-consuming. Fortunately, UiPath Test Suite offers a more integrated approach to testing.

As a long-term partner of UiPath, Planit is also helping organisations rethink their approach to testing, shifting from reactive quality control to proactive assurance that moves at the speed of innovation.

Planit has been named as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Market Guide for Quality Engineering Services, published in June 2025.

With 1,700 quality engineering specialists, we’re proud to be one of the pure-play quality engineering (QE) service providers listed in the report.

Notably, we are the sole provider on the list headquartered in Australia.

We believe this recognition reinforces Planit’s continued leadership in delivering quality at scale, with a sharp focus on test automation, performance engineering, AI-augmented QE, and innovation-led transformation.

Why we believe it matters

In our opinion, the Gartner® Market Guide for Quality Engineering Services is a valuable resource for Sourcing, Procurement, and Vendor Management (SPVM) professionals and IT leaders navigating the dynamic  world of testing, AI-augmented quality engineering, and digital assurance.

This year’s guide lists 40 providers, picked from over 500 global QE service providers tracked by Gartner.

“Our focus in this edition of the Market Guide is on using tool-based solutions and leveraging the latest technology to automate application testing. The 40 providers listed here reflect this focus,” the report states.

Planit was recognised in the report as a pure-play QE service provider, which we believe highlightour unwavering focus on quality engineering and setting us apart in a market increasingly demanding depth over breadth.

According to Gartner: “as testing services evolve into comprehensive QE services, these providers are well-positioned to meet the growing demand for integrated, end-to-end QE solutions,” thanks to their specialised expertise and strategic delivery.

“As a company solely dedicated to quality engineering, to us, this recognition reinforces our belief that depth of expertise and continuous innovation are what clients value most,” said Alex Edwards, Chief Operating Officer at Planit.

“We’re proud to be leading from the front as quality engineering evolves into a strategic driver of business performance.”
