SHIFT Inc. was founded in 2005 by Masaru Tange, who was a manufacturing process improvement consultant.[2] In the earliest years, it was a tiny consulting company specializing in manufacturing and business process improvements.[2] In 2007, it entered the software testing industry by undertaking consultancy work for the improvement of E-commerce testing.[3] In 2009, Tange changed the company's direction from the process improvement consultancy to the software testing business.[citation needed] The company then grew so rapidly to be listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market in 2014.[4] In April 2020, it has the market capitalization of 143 billion yen ($1.3 billion), which is the largest of the listed Japanese companies specialized in software quality assurance and testing services.[lower-alpha 1]
The company covers software testing outsourcing, project management office and test strategy planning supports, test execution, test design, automated testing, software inspection, and educational program services.[5][6][7]
