RTTS

Real-Time Technology Solutions, Inc. (RTTS) was founded in New York in 1996. RTTS began by supporting test automation tools from SQA, Inc., a Boston-based publicly traded firm that specialized in the relatively new field of automated software quality (ASQ).

In 1997, Rational Software, Inc., a Cupertino, California, firm specializing in products that model and aid in software development, acquired SQA, Inc. RTTS joined the Rational value-added reseller (VAR) program.{{Cite web |title=IBM Acquires Rational Software |url=https://www.lexpert.ca/big-deals/ibm-acquires-rational-software/343838 |access-date=2024-06-04 |website=www.lexpert.ca |language=en}}

In October 2003 RTTS started an on-shore outsourced testing service that provides software quality and automated testing services using American programmers working out of offices in the US. The model differs from offshoring since engineers work in a similar time zone with no language barriers and no visa issues. It has been rebranded as Testing in the Cloud.{{Cite web |date=2003-12-02 |title=BW Online {{!}} October 27, 2003 {{!}} The Hidden Costs of IT Outsourcing |url=http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/oct2003/tc20031027_9655_tc119.htm |access-date=2024-04-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031202024107/http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/oct2003/tc20031027_9655_tc119.htm |archive-date=2003-12-02 }}{{Cite web |date=2004-04-06 |title=BW Online {{!}} March 1, 2004 {{!}} Commentary: Now More Than Ever, Innovation Is The Answer |url=http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_09/b3872012_mz001.htm |access-date=2024-04-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040406125729/http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_09/b3872012_mz001.htm |archive-date=2004-04-06 }}[http://searchcio.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid182_gci933713,00.html# SearchCIO.com - Start spreadin' the news: NY firm flexes onshore model]

In 2008, RTTS spun off TOMOS Software, LLC. TOMOS is software as a service (SaaS) for Application lifecycle management. TOMOS is role-based, with roles defined for project manager, business analyst, developer and tester. TOMOS has modules for requirements management, test authoring, a test execution engine, defect tracking, version/build management, and collaboration.

In 2010, RTTS began work on an enterprise test tool for data testing. QuerySurge was released in early 2012. QuerySurge automates big data testing, data warehouse and ETL testing, data interface testing, data migration testing and database upgrade testing.{{Cite book |last=Vucevic |first=Doug |title=Testing the Data Warehouse Practicum: Assuring Data Content, Data Structures and Quality |date=2012-08-22 |publisher=Trafford |isbn=978-1-4669-4356-8 |edition= |location=Bloomington, Ind. |language=English}}{{Cite web |title=MySQL :: RTTS' QuerySurge Automates Data Testing with MySQL Embedded as Powerful Backend |url=https://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/case-studies/rtts-querysurge-mysql-embedded.html |access-date=2025-04-14 |website=www.mysql.com}}
