SMARTESTING SOLUTIONS & SERVICES

Their core work

Smartesting is a French SME specializing in automated software testing, model-based testing, and quality assurance solutions. Their work spans IoT security validation, runtime model-based verification frameworks, and continuous business process assurance for enterprises undergoing digital transformation. They bring testing expertise to large collaborative R&D projects, contributing methods for benchmarking, certification, and trust validation in complex software systems.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Smartesting's H2020 trajectory shows a clear shift from infrastructure-level testing toward business-level assurance. Their early work (2016-2018) centered on IoT security experiments — large-scale testbeds, benchmarking, and certification in the ARMOUR project. By 2019, they coordinated MollyMawk, pivoting to continuous business process assurance for digital transformation, moving up the value chain from technical validation to business-critical quality.

Smartesting is moving from technical/infrastructure testing toward business process-level quality assurance, positioning themselves as a partner for enterprises managing digital transformation risks.

How they like to work

Smartesting primarily participates as a specialist partner in larger consortia (2 of 3 projects), but has demonstrated the ability to lead as coordinator (MollyMawk). With 38 unique partners across 9 countries from just 3 projects, they operate in broad, multi-partner consortia rather than tight bilateral collaborations. This suggests they are comfortable integrating into diverse teams and contributing specialized testing capabilities to large-scale efforts.

Despite only 3 projects, Smartesting has built a network of 38 partners across 9 countries, reflecting participation in large European consortia. Their reach is solidly European with no apparent geographic concentration beyond France.

What sets them apart

Smartesting occupies a specific niche: they are a testing-focused SME that can plug into both IoT/embedded systems projects and enterprise digital transformation initiatives. Unlike generic IT consultancies, their value proposition is deep expertise in automated test generation and quality assurance. Their shift toward business process assurance (MollyMawk) suggests they can bridge the gap between technical validation and business-level confidence — useful for any consortium that needs rigorous verification built into its solution.

Highlights from their portfolio
