Kimputing and Exavalu Partner to Bring CenterTest-Driven Quality Transformation to Guidewire Carriers
Exavalu's Guidewire QA delivery, business analysis, project management, and architecture expertise joins CenterTest test automation, so carriers get custom automation solutions staffed to each engagement.
Austin, Texas, Oct 24, 2026
Kimputing Inc., makers of CenterTest™, a test automation framework purpose-built for Guidewire InsuranceSuite® and Guidewire Cloud™, today announced a partnership with Exavalu, a Guidewire PartnerConnect™ Select Consulting partner with the Testing Standards specialization, to explore CenterTest-driven quality transformation opportunities for enterprise insurance carriers.
Exavalu delivers Guidewire® and insurance domain experience, QA and QE teams, and business analysis, project management, and architecture support. Its quality engineering practice covers advisory services; test automation across unit, regression, integration, and UAT testing; performance, security, and accessibility testing; data migration testing; and testing frameworks aligned with CI/CD pipelines.
Its Guidewire practice covers Guidewire transformations and Cloud migrations, product rollouts, platform upgrades, portal implementations, integrations, and production support.
Kimputing brings CenterTest, the best test automation solution purpose-built for Guidewire, which enables rapid automation deployment and maintains version compatibility across Guidewire releases, preserving a carrier's QA investment. Exavalu is already supporting Kimputing's CenterTest implementation at Portage Mutual Insurance with embedded SDET resources.
Through the partnership, the two companies can offer custom automation solutions tailored to each carrier's business needs and staffed with the resources the engagement requires: Kimputing's test automation solutions and specialists, alongside Exavalu's business analysts, project managers, architects, QA resources, and SDETs.
Where the partnership applies:
A Guidewire Cloud migration ahead. The carrier automates its regression suite before the move, and the same tests run against Guidewire Cloud on day one.
A platform upgrade on the calendar. Exavalu's upgrade practice takes the carrier to the new release, and the carrier's existing CenterTest suite carries over to it.
A product or state rollout. Exavalu manages the rollout, and CenterTest's data-driven tests extend coverage to the new line of business.
A quality engineering practice to stand up. Exavalu's quality engineering advisory shapes the practice and its SDETs staff it, while CenterTest's data-driven test definitions give QA and business teams a shared library of test assets.
A portal or integration going live. Exavalu delivers the portal or integration, and CenterTest scenarios span PolicyCenter®, BillingCenter®, ClaimCenter®, and the portal in a single test execution.
"Exavalu brings the Guidewire and insurance domain depth, and the business analysts, project managers, and architects that carriers may need to support their quality transformation with CenterTest. Our partnership gives every carrier the right-sized resources to support their specific engagement," said Duncan Guignet, VP, Partnerships, Kimputing Inc.
