OpenTest started out of an open exchange of ideas inside Texas Instruments to make software test activities more efficient in March 2009.

A informal team of engineers was formed to design and implement a software test automation system that would:
 * 1) Reuse test infrastructure across teams, including teams working on very different product lines.
 * 2) Increase the amount of test automation coverage on every release, so test activities could scale as new releases became more complex and supported more platforms.

Several open source and commercial solutions were considered and at the end STAF and TestLink were chosen as the foundation for the test automation system.
