Expanding Horizons: T-Plan Partners with Channel Bridge to Launch in Japan 

At T-Plan, we’re thrilled to announce our latest milestone—our entry into the Japanese market through a strategic partnership with Channel Bridge, Inc. This collaboration represents a significant step in our global journey, bringing our trusted T-Plan test automation solution to one of the world’s most innovative and technology-driven regions. 

Empowering Japanese Businesses with Smarter Testing Solutions 

T-Plan is built for organisations seeking smarter, more efficient, and secure testing practices. Designed to simplify and streamline processes, it’s an adaptable tool that caters to diverse industries and user skill levels. 

Here’s what makes T-Plan a game-changer: 

  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Perform automation testing seamlessly on web, mobile, and desktop platforms, including Windows, Mac, and Linux.
  • No-Code/Low-Code Accessibility: Non-technical team members can easily participate in testing workflows, while advanced features support developer-driven tasks. 
  • Image Recognition-Based Testing: Test with an end-user perspective for increased accuracy and relevance. 
  • Data Integration: Connect live data from spreadsheets, databases, PDFs, and text files for dynamic, real-world testing scenarios. 
  • Black Box Testing: Conduct comprehensive system tests without accessing source codes or system architecture—ideal for protecting sensitive data while ensuring robust results. 

As Charlie Wheeler, our CEO, puts it: 

“Japan is renowned for its innovation and precision, making it the perfect environment for T-Plan. We’re confident our tool will help businesses in industries like gaming, healthcare, automotive, and finance achieve new levels of efficiency and quality.” 

Why Japan? Why Now? 

The demand for secure, flexible, and user-friendly test automation solutions continues to grow globally, and Japan is no exception. Industries are embracing automation as they strive for efficiency, productivity, and rapid innovation. T-Plan’s versatility positions it as the ideal solution for: 

  • Browser and CAD Automation Testing 
  • Continuous and Cross-Device Testing 
  • Data-Driven and Functional Testing
  • Keyword-Driven and Image-Based Testing

The standout feature? Black Box Testing—a critical capability that maximises test coverage while safeguarding sensitive data. By operating without modifying system structures or accessing confidential code, businesses can enjoy peace of mind and comprehensive testing results. 

Localised for Japan, Built for Everyone 

We understand the importance of localisation, especially when entering a market as unique as Japan. That’s why we’re launching a fully localised version of T-Plan, complete with Japanese menus and enhanced usability, by December. 

With Channel Bridge leading the charge, we’ll deliver tailored demonstrations and campaigns to ensure our solution meets the needs of Japanese enterprises. 

What’s Next? 

This partnership is just the beginning. We’re committed to supporting businesses in Japan as they embrace test automation to streamline workflows, improve software quality, and remain competitive in an increasingly digital world. 

CEO & President of Channel Bridge, Takuya Tamaki, noted: 

“T-Plan can save testers an average of one day of work per week while significantly improving software quality and productivity. It’s a game-changer for Japanese businesses.”
