Scandium Systems has launched TestPod, a modern test management platform aimed at addressing the fragmentation in software testing processes. Officially launched on Friday, April 11, 2025, TestPod helps software teams—whether in Africa or globally—organize and track all forms of testing, including manual, automated, exploratory, and performance testing.
The tool is designed for agile teams that need flexibility, supporting test case authoring, tagging, execution tracking, and real-time dashboards to enhance visibility and coordination across QA workflows.
According to AbdulAzeez Ogunjobi, CEO and co-founder of Scandium, the idea stemmed from conversations with over 200 African startups and enterprises, where 90% admitted to heavy reliance on manual testing despite partial automation.
He noted that while Scandium’s no-code automation suite serves a wide client base, TestPod addresses the more foundational challenge of organizing and managing test processes. Sodeeq Elusoji, CTO, emphasized that “the real bottleneck in testing is lack of visibility,” and TestPod is designed to solve exactly that.
The release comes at a time when Africa’s digital economy is expanding rapidly, with reports from McKinsey projecting a $712 billion contribution to the continent’s GDP by 2025. Meanwhile, AfricaNenda reported over $1 trillion in mobile money transactions in 2023, underlining the need for reliable, high-quality digital infrastructure. With tightening regulations and rising consumer expectations, tools like TestPod are becoming essential for ensuring quality and building user trust in digital products.
TestPod works seamlessly with Scandium’s existing no-code suite but also integrates with third-party frameworks like Selenium, Playwright, and Cypress. It is now available globally at testpod.io, with free early access for teams of all sizes.
Backed by the team that built Africa’s first no-code test automation platform, Scandium is extending its reach from test execution to full test orchestration, ensuring that as Africa’s tech ecosystem grows, quality keeps pace with innovation.
