19.10.2020 15:02:08 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
FutureOn, the fast-growing Norwegian software company that works with an expanding portfolio of global energy companies, announced today that it has secured an investment from the Bentley Acceleration Fund and established a strategic partnership with US-based Bentley Systems to accelerate the digitalization of the oil and gas industry.
FutureOn and Bentley Systems (Nasdaq: BSY), the infrastructure engineering software company, will combine FutureOn’s award-winning field design application (FieldAP) and its API-centric collaboration platform (FieldTwin) with Bentley’s iTwin platform to provide customers a next-generation digital twin solution capable of driving design methodologies in upstream project development for the next decade. Both FutureOn and Bentley platforms use open web standards to facilitate complex integration and customization, and the combined offerings are already being implemented in exploration and production workflows.
“This is a significant milestone for FutureOn which will greatly drive the growth of our business by extending its reach,” said FutureOn CEO Paal Roppen. “Also, while we will work closely with Bentley we will maintain our neutrality as an independent software vendor with a clear mandate to provide our customers a fully open and standards-driven digital platform. This flexibility supports our customers’ desire for remote collaborative decision making at a critical time for the oil and gas industry.”
FutureOn emerged from the highly respected 3D visualization agency Xvision with over 20 years of visual engineering experience specifically in the oil and gas subsea domain. In 2019 FutureOn’s FieldAP received the OTC Spotlight on New Technology Award for best software innovation in the oil and gas industry. Most recently, the company has launched the cloud-based data platform FieldTwin, which offers centralized API integrations to many of the leading engineering simulation and data analysis tools. When combined with FieldTwin, FieldAP enables cross-discipline remote collaboration for design and development of subsea digital twins.
“FutureOn has grown quickly and taken an industry-leading position in very short time thanks to bold moves like this,” added Roppen. “Today, digitalization is more important than ever for the oil and gas industry as challenging market conditions persist. Innovative and disruptive technologies such as those we develop alongside Bentley will fill an emerging void.”
“We are excited for this new opportunity to collaborate with FutureOn to provide advanced digital twin technology for the oil and gas industry, and especially for the addition of subsea expertise,” said Ken Adamson, Bentley vice president, design integration. “Combining our design, modeling, and analysis experience with FutureOn’s data management and visualization acumen to help build subsea digital twins will enable our users to further enhance their engineering performance, operations and profitability.”

TestMu AI Introduces DevTools Assertions in Kane CLI, Enabling Browser-Level Validation Through Natural Language16.6.2026 14:30:00 CEST | Press release
New capability allows developers and AI agents to validate network activity, console logs, browser storage, and performance metrics without writing custom scripts TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world's first Agentic AI-powered Quality Engineering platform, today announced DevTools Assertions for Kane CLI, enabling developers and AI agents to validate browser internals using natural language. Traditional browser automation focuses on what users can see: buttons, forms, text, and visual states. However, modern web applications depend heavily on browser activity that remains invisible to users, including network requests, API responses, console logs, cookies, local storage, and performance metrics. With DevTools Assertions, Kane CLI extends browser validation beyond the UI, allowing teams to verify these underlying signals using plain-English objectives. Developers can now write objectives such as: "Click Add to Cart and assert the request to /api/cart returned status 200." "Run the
