Still Helping the World Build Better Software
Catch Software | Consensus Software Award Winner 2010
Technology moves quickly.
The tools used to build it have to move even faster.
When Catch Software received a Consensus Software Award in 2010 for Enterprise Tester, software development was entering a new era. Agile methodologies were gaining momentum, release cycles were accelerating and organisations needed better ways to manage increasingly complex testing across large development teams.
Enterprise Tester was built for that future.
Developed in New Zealand, the platform gave organisations a centralised way to plan, manage and track software testing throughout the entire development lifecycle. By integrating testing with development and project management tools, it helped teams deliver higher quality software with greater confidence and speed.
The Consensus Software Awards recognised not only the technical innovation behind Enterprise Tester, but its potential to support the next generation of software development.
That prediction proved remarkably accurate.
Over the following decade, Catch Software established itself as a global leader in software quality management, with Enterprise Tester adopted by organisations across government, finance, healthcare, telecommunications and enterprise technology. As software became increasingly central to every industry, the platform continued evolving to meet the demands of modern DevOps and Agile development environments.
Unlike many technology companies, Catch Software chose a different path.
Rather than pursuing acquisition, the company continued growing independently, expanding internationally while remaining focused on delivering world-class software testing solutions. Along the way, it earned recognition through Deloitte's Fast 50 and Asia Pacific Technology Fast 500 programs, while becoming one of New Zealand's leading Atlassian Platinum Solution Partners.
Today, Enterprise Tester continues to support development teams around the world, helping organisations deliver reliable, high-quality software in an increasingly digital economy.
For Consensus, Catch Software is another example of recognising companies that understood where technology was heading long before the rest of the market.
Its journey demonstrates that lasting success isn't always measured by a headline-making exit.
Sometimes, it's measured by continuing to solve important problems for customers year after year, while quietly helping build the software that powers the modern world.
