History
Company founders John Michelsen and Ruston Vickers were operating a custom software consulting company when they invented the test engine kernel of LISA 1.0 in 1999 to provide high-volume load testing of a Java-based trading network.
Since the first commercial release of LISA 2.0 in 2002, ITKO has increasingly focused on testing the many disparate types of components and technologies that can make up distributed, Internet-based enterprise applications.
Shridhar Mittal became president and CEO in September 2005.
The company's customers include First Data, American Airlines, ANZ, Citigroup, DirecTV, Oracle Corporation, Southern California Edison, and Time Warner Cable.
On June 29, 2011, CA Technologies announced that it would acquire ITKO for $330 million. In August, CA announced that the acquisition had been completed.
