Overview
Infosys Limited is India's second-largest IT services firm by revenue, reporting US$19.3 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2025 across approximately 323,000 employees as of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The firm was founded in 1981 by N. R. Narayana Murthy and six co-founders, is headquartered in Bangalore, India, and is dual-listed on the NSE/BSE in India and NYSE in the US (ticker INFY). Quality assurance and testing sits inside Infosys Validation Solutions, one of the firm's earliest and most established service lines, with reported headcount above 30,000 certified test professionals.
Infosys Validation Solutions covers functional and regression test automation, performance and engineering testing, security and accessibility validation, AI and analytics testing, and packaged-application test factories for SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, and Workday. The practice is built around the Infosys Live Enterprise Test Suite, a proprietary platform that combines test orchestration, intelligent test design, and generative AI for test case authoring. Infosys reports more than 10,000 test automation engineers certified across Selenium, Tricentis, UFT, and Playwright.
Infosys is typically a fit for global enterprises consolidating multi-vendor testing into a managed test factory, particularly in banking, capital markets, insurance, retail, and telecommunications. The firm has historically been less competitive on small standalone automation engagements under US$250,000 and on US public-sector cleared work, where it has a smaller cleared bench than US-headquartered competitors.
