What is the 'ITreview Grid Award'?
'ITreview' is Japan's largest platform for corporate IT product and SaaS reviews. The 'ITreview Grid Award' is a unique award by ITreview that visualizes product evaluations based on user reviews posted on the platform, assessing both satisfaction and awareness. It is announced quarterly, and products meeting specific criteria are honored.
In this award, products that lead the industry with high satisfaction and awareness receive the top 'Leader' designation, while products with particularly high user satisfaction and strong growth potential are recognized as 'High Performers.'
Because it is based on trustworthy evaluations from actual users, the award is widely used not only by IT departments but also by various operational teams and management across organizations.
Recognition of User Feedback and Continuous Feature Enhancements
T-DASH previously won the top 'Leader' position in the 'Test Automation Tool' category of the 'ITreview Grid Award 2026 Spring' in April 2026. Additionally, in May 2026, it received the 'The Best Software by Category' award in the Development category at 'ITreview The Best Software in Japan 2026.'
In the same month, Valtes began offering a preview version of 'T-DASH Pro (Tee-Dash Pro),' an advanced version with enhanced test result analysis and visualization capabilities, continuing its efforts to expand product functionality.
This latest award is seen as a result of continuous feature improvements and the accumulation of high user evaluations.
What is 'T-DASH'?
'T-DASH' is a test automation tool developed based on Valtes' extensive expertise in software testing over many years. A key feature is its intuitive operation that does not require specialized programming knowledge, thereby lowering the barrier to adopting test automation.
It supports the entire testing process—from test case creation to execution—standardizing and streamlining testing procedures that are often dependent on individual expertise. This contributes to faster development cycles and consistent improvements in software quality. Furthermore, through integration with quality improvement support services, Valtes provides comprehensive support beyond just tool provision, covering test strategy planning and implementation.
