What Experimentus does

Experimentus Ltd is a UK-based software testing consultancy founded in 2004 and headquartered in London, operating with 11–50 employees. The firm positions itself as the world's leading provider of TMMi (Test Maturity Model integration) certifications and training, drawing on fourteen years of focused expertise and holding accreditation from the TMMi Foundation as a Lead Assessor and training provider. Its service portfolio is organised around a five-stage customer journey (Assess, Visualise, Transform, Manage, Train) and covers test process improvement, software quality health checks, software quality assurance, test management, performance testing, and sustainable software testing.

The company's product surface combines proprietary methodology with managed services and analytics tooling. Core offerings include the intelligent Test Method (iTM) for test environment management (iTEM), the Test ORB KPI dashboard, and the Shift Left and Compress methodology. It licenses the TMMi assessment method internationally in French, Spanish, Italian, and Chinese and delivers training via in-house public courses and an online eLearning platform booked through HubSpot. Strategic partnerships with the TMMi Foundation, iSQI (training delivery in the Philippines), and NatWest (sustainable software testing) extend reach into certification bodies and the banking sector; named enterprise customers include China Pacific Insurance, Telekom Malaysia, AIG Philippines, and NatWest.

Experimentus makes money through four streams: professional services (consultancy and assessments), training and certification (in-house and eLearning), managed services (iTEM test environment management), and licensing/royalties on the TMMi assessment method. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered via free consultation requests. The go-to-market is consultative and enterprise-focused, supported by content marketing, blog publishing by senior consultants, industry surveys, and community leadership via the UK TMMi Local Chapter.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Qualitest: Pure-play QA and software testing services firm serving large enterprises globally. Highly comparable to Experimentus in service mix (functional, performance, test environment management), though materially larger and broader geographically.
• Cigniti Technologies: Independent software testing services provider with IP-led testing offerings (e.g., Smart Automation framework). Closely comparable as a focused QA services competitor targeting enterprise digital transformation budgets.
• Planit (now Planit Testing): Independent software testing and quality assurance consultancy with global delivery. Comparable in its specialist positioning on QA, though broader in tooling and automation practices than Experimentus.
• TestingXperts: Pure-play QA and software testing services firm with strong offshore delivery. Comparable service catalogue (functional, performance, test environment management) targeting similar enterprise buyer profiles.

Broad incumbents

• Sogeti: Capgemini subsidiary focused on technology and engineering services including a sizable testing practice. Overlaps Experimentus on TMap/TMMi-adjacent methodologies but operates as a much broader portfolio player.
• Accenture Testing Services: Global SI with a large-scale application testing and quality engineering practice. Overlaps with Experimentus on enterprise QA transformation mandates but typically at much larger deal sizes.
• TCS Quality Engineering: Tata Consultancy Services' dedicated quality engineering and testing service line. Directly competes for the same enterprise testing transformation RFPs, with vastly greater scale and offshore delivery.

Emerging players

• Tricentis: Vendor of enterprise test automation platforms (Tosca, qTest). Comparable on the testing-maturity theme but product-led rather than services-led; an emerging substitute risk to maturity-model consultancies.
• Appen: AI data and testing services firm focused on data quality, model evaluation and test data. Comparable on the data/AI-testing adjacency and on serving enterprise QA buyers, though more productized than consultancy-led.

Others

• iSQI: International Software Quality Institute — accreditation body and certification publisher that partners with Experimentus for TMMi professional course delivery. Comparable as a standards/certifications body in the same ecosystem.
