Calleo: We Sell Test Tools

Calleo Sell Test Tools

For over 20 years, Calleo has helped teams find the right testing tools. We’ve worked across every kind of organisation, from SMEs to global financial behemoths and the public sector, building practical insights into how real teams use the tools to deliver better software.

With Calleo, you get expert guidance to find the right options, demos and trial licenses to evaluate them, and practical help to get up and running. You’ll see the pros, cons and long-term costs clearly before making any decisions, and stay supported with renewals and updates long after you’ve started using the tool.

Instead of trawling the market yourself, you tell us what you’re trying to test, how your teams work and your constraints, and we narrow down the tool and licence options that actually fit.

You don’t need us every day, but if you’re facing a test tool decision, keep Calleo in mind. A conversation at the right time can save you time, money and a lot of pain. Plus, you may be missing some of the recent game‑changing innovations.

How Calleo Makes Your Life Easier

With Calleo, you get the right test tool for your situation, at a great price, with someone in your corner who’s done this hundreds of times before.​

Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:

  • You tell us what you’re trying to test, how your teams work, and your constraints.​
  • We narrow down tool and licence options for you.​
  • We help you understand the benefits, any trade-offs, and costs.​
  • We arrange demos or a trial license so you can see the tools in action.​
  • Once you’ve bought, we’re here to help you get started, handle renewals, and keep you up to date.​

Why Not Just Go Direct?

In theory, you could try to go straight to OpenText (formerly Micro Focus). However, in practice, unless you’re a very large enterprise, you’ll be pointed to a partner.

As a Gold-level OpenText partner, we are fully integrated into the OpenText structure, with access to their people, processes, pricing and product insight that most customers never see.

The real question isn’t “direct vs partner”, it’s “which partner actually understands test tools, your context and how you buy?”​

Calleo’s whole business exists to do this thinking with you. We manage the entire process, saving you time and costing you nothing extra.

The result is better value, fewer nasty surprises, and tools that stay useful for more than one project.​

When To Remember Calleo

So remember Calleo next time…  

  • You’re planning a new project and know the existing tools will not do the job.
  • You’re stuck in licence hell and suspect you’re paying too much/using too little.
  • You’re pretty sure you need a performance, test management or automation test tool, but aren’t sure which one.
  • You want to sense‑check your options with someone who lives and breathes test tools.

Whenever you’re facing a test tool decision, keep Calleo in mind. A quick conversation at the right time can save you money, time and a lot of pain.

AI for Test Data

How to Implement AI for Test Data: 10 Considerations

Test data has always been one of the slowest, least glamorous parts of software testing. It is rarely strategic work, but it holds everything up. No matter how good your test plan is, weak data can make the whole exercise unreliable.

Choosing Performance

How to Choose a Performance Testing Tool

If you’re looking for a new performance tool or new to performance testing, it can be a tough subject to get your head around. I’ve been involved in the industry for 3 decades, and during that time, it has evolved massively. Increasingly, I talk to people at companies who’ve never

DevWeb is better than JMeter

5 Ways DevWeb Is Better Than JMeter

JMeter often becomes the default because it looks free. There is no license fee, and it appears flexible enough to do almost anything. But JMeter’s ease is often a myth. In reality, it is rarely the most sensible or low-cost choice.

Testing is Vital

Seriously Though, Five Reasons Testing is Vital

In the last main Testing Times edition (April fools day), I argued, quite ludicrously, that testing is a waste of time. That it slows releases, costs money, and ruins everyone’s fun. Judging by the comments, a few readers took it a bit too literally. So let’s be serious for a minute.

Aviator Testing AI

DevOps Aviator: AI Made For Testers

DevOps Aviator brings generative AI into software delivery to help test teams move sooner, reduce manual effort, and get answers faster. It is part of the broader Aviator suite: a set of AI capabilities embedded across OpenText products.

Testing is a waste of time

5 Reasons Testing is a Waste of Time

Let’s be honest, testing is what teams do when they don’t trust their developers. It’s a tax on speed, a relic from waterfall days, and a crutch for people afraid to ship. It just slows down releases, kills creativity, and wastes budget that could be better spent on another sprint.

OpenText Summit 2026

OpenText Summit: Why This Free Event Is Worth Your Time

You walk into a room where people are talking about the exact problems you wrestle with: tricky deployments, clunky processes, and how to test faster. Sometimes, the right conversation with the right person is enough to unlock a solution or a possibility you hadn’t even considered.

Python

Functional Testing 26.1: Adds Python, Cloud Testing, and more AI

With 26.1, OpenText is giving you something concrete: Python‑based automation, AI‑assisted verification, and cloud labs that fit into your existing CI/CD. This turns functional testing from a separate QA activity into a shared capability that developers, SDETs, and testers can all contribute to.

LoadRunner AI

LoadRunner 26.1: A New Direction in Performance Testing?

OpenText’s version 26.1 is a clear statement of where the Performance Engineering (LoadRunner) family is heading: AI-assisted, simplifying complex tasks and enabling your team to be more productive. This creates a very practical question: how do you buy and deploy these new capabilities in a way that actually moves the needle on risk, cost, and delivery speed?
