These updates, in conjunction with the latest release of the company’s model-based test automation solution Tricentis Tosca, are a part of Tricentis’ larger strategy that will redefine AI-augmented software testing as AI drastically alters the speed and rate of change in the software testing space.

“We’re at a pivotal moment in software development with AI redefining how code is written, tested, and released,” said Sher. “Tricentis has long cemented itself as a leader in software quality driving AI innovation and adoption, and I’m thrilled to leverage my experiences to further shape this vision of delivering the solutions our customers need to thrive in this evolving landscape.”

Launching new beta programs and co-development initiatives with enterprise customers to bring cutting-edge solutions to market faster.
Deepening collaboration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) partners to deliver next-gen testing tools tailored for complex enterprise environments.

A legacy of innovation and a culture of collaboration

Sher has extensive experience in building transformative platforms. As co-founder and CEO of SeaLights, which was acquired by Tricentis in 2024, he pioneered AI-powered quality intelligence and test impact analysis. Prior to that, Sher co-founded Nolio, a continuous deployment platform acquired by CA Technologies, and held leadership roles at Mercury Interactive, PortAuthority Technologies, and Conduct.

Sher emphasizes cross-functional alignment as a cornerstone of his leadership. He will work closely with engineering, marketing, sales, customer success, and partner teams to ensure the product vision is deeply connected to customer needs and market dynamics.

"Eran’s ability to turn theoretical ideas into practical application and customer-focused approach to product make him the natural fit to lead our exceptional team of product experts,” said Kevin Thompson, Chief Executive Officer, Tricentis. “As we accelerate time-to-value, lead AI innovation in the software quality space, and provide customers with the solutions they need to deliver strong business outcomes, Eran will play a critical role in driving our mission to empower teams toward their goal of high-quality software.”
