History
Qualitest was founded in 1997 by Ayal Zylberman and Eli Margolin. Three years later, in 2000, Qualitest, then a small-scale entity, saw a change in majority ownership when Advanced Logistics Developments (ALD), a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange-listed company, acquired a 51 percent stake in the company. Qualitest remained under the control of Advanced Logistics Developments until 2004 when another listed company, Malam Systems of Shlomo Eisenberg, acquired a majority stake.

In 2016, Marlin Equity Partners acquired a stake in Qualitest for $85 million. Under Marlin's ownership, Qualitest continued its expansion by acquiring companies such as Experior Group, Test Direct, as well as a division of NCC Group and Orasi. During this time, Qualitest also established operations in Romania, opening a new facility with an investment of $6 million.

In 2018, Qualitest expanded its operations in the United Kingdom by acquiring the software testing division of Manchester-based NCC Group. In the same year, it also acquired the US-based company, Pytheus, and the software testing division of Orasi.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Qualitest developed an index in Israel. This index, based on validated data, was created to measure the nations' relative capabilities in handling the medical crisis.

In April 2021, Qualitest made two acquisitions. First, it acquired Comply, an Israel-based software testing company active in the pharma and health sectors. Later, it also acquired Olenick & Associates, a software testing company based in Chicago.
